Jonathan Monk: Restaurant Drawings Published by Karma Books, New York.
Text by Pedro Alonzo. An eye-popping, clothbound collection of Jonathan Monk's appropriations of iconic artworks, made on restaurant bills This new book collects the English artist's (born 1969) drawings and paintings on receipts which are later sold at the price of the meal, an example of his spontaneous appropriationist gestures. On these bills, Monk recreates the work of Ellsworth Kelly, Sol LeWitt, Sherrie Levine, Piero Manzoni, Lawrence Weiner, On Kawara, Christopher Wool, Andy Warhol and others.
