A WA artist is taking legal action after his commission was cancelled for an off-the-shelf imported work almost twice the price.
Matthew McVeigh was commissioned by the City of Vincent Council to produce a $30,000 sculptured entitled Togetherness and paid a $5000 deposit.
But after reviewing his submission the Council did not go ahead with the Commission, replacing his work with a piece by Chinese artist Chen Wen Ling which was on display at the Sculpture by the Sea.
