Notes:
Title devised by cataloger based on captions from Jonathan Monk's Instagram account @monkpictures and titles used in: Restaurant Book. New York, NY: Karma Books, 2019.
"... after a meal, Monk takes his receipt home and draws on it. The drawings are reproductions of iconic works by some of the leading figures of conceptual artists ... Monk then posts an image of the receipt drawing on Instagram and adds below it the name of the artist he is referencing. The price of Monk's meal determines the price of the artwork, in addition to, as of this fourth receipt posting, postage." -- Restaurant drawings, 5-6.
"... Monk used Instagram as a tool to hack the art market. The beauty of the restaurant receipt drawings is that Instagram is part of the conceptual underpinning of the work. This feature is a brilliant extension of Monk's conceptual practice and takes his personal exploration of how we relate to art and art history through reproductions in a new direction." -- Restaurant drawings, 5.
Nine watercolor drawings by Jonathan Monk on receipts from the cafe Sgaminegg, which is located at Seelower Str. 2, 10439 Berlin, Germany. The drawings reference works by Sol LeWitt.
