Jonathan Monk sells painted receipts on Instagram

British conceptual artist Jonathan Monk (born 1969, Leicester) has been selling painted receipts and restaurant bills on his Instagram profile (@monkpictures). The works are priced exactly at the amount printed on the receipt—ranging from a McDonald's hamburger to a full restaurant meal. Each receipt is used as a support for a miniature homage to another artist, reproducing iconic contemporary works: Alighiero Boetti's "Piegare e Spigare" (€248.90), Donald Judd's "Cornair Chair" (€22.20), Sol LeWitt's 1965 exhibition invitation at John Daniels Gallery in New York (€37.50), Andy Warhol's "Electric Chair" (€27), Piero Manzoni's "Impronta d'artista" (€170), a landscape by Salvo, and John Baldessari's "Simpson" version (€23). Interested buyers must comment on the Instagram post, and the winner is selected randomly by the artist. Shipping costs are not included. The practice fits Monk's broader oeuvre of ironic appropriation and reinterpretation of conceptual and minimal art.
