30 Sep THE BILLBOARD PROJECT. 2012. ONE OF ONLY 5 SIGNED & NUMBERED EXAMPLES.
London: Three Star Books, 2012
Twenty "royal sheets" - each 50.8 x 63.5cm - that together make up a 203.2 x 317.5cm billboard (requiring construction and a wooden backing board that were not supplied by Monk) and a bound book - in Royal Folio size - 50.8 x 31.7cm, with 80pp and boards. The pages of the book are exactly the same as the pages in the bill board only cut differently.
The text on both the billboard and in the book is a description of the billboard and book, the processes that were required to make both, the formats used in the typography and other aspects of the production and details about the artist and the publishers.
