Venice: s.p., 2000
60.5 x 83.5cm, full colour offset print (wide margins) - one of an unlimited (in theory) prints/ floor posters issued by Monk during the Venice Biennale. The image is of the artist's mother and father with a small monkey (presumably standing in for the artist). We have no information whatsoever if Jonathan Monk was indeed a "little monkey"when a child? This example is unusually signed by Monk in blue ink under the image - slight damage on the left top but else VG.

Stuttgart: Revolver, 1999
20.4 X 15.7cm, unpaginated plus card covers with French folds. Artist's book photographically documenting two dogs in black and white images with one shown on one side of the open fold and the other opposite, followed by a number of blank colour pages. The pairing of two animals may be a nod to Boetti's fascination with couplings (although Boetti's interest was in the duality of twins) but nothing is very clear other than the nostalgia that Monk feels for his own family and their animals although one dog is his mother's and the other a dog that lives in Stuttgart. One of 500 hand numbered copies. VG+.

14.5 x 18.8cm, b/w silver gelatine print on Ilford MgIV paper displaying an unused (ie not reproduced in the artist's book "None of the buildings on the Sunset Strip") - an unique photograph.
On the rear in Monk's handwriting are the settings for the camera that he used, the word's "Artist's Proof" and the title "NONE OF THE BUILDINGS ON SUNSET STRIP", his signature in ink and the date 1997.
One small stain on the reverse and a very small, hard to notice fixative stain on the front but otherwise mint condition and unique.
JOINT:
A handwritten note from the artist to Paul Robertson explaining the photograph and offering it in part trade for future purchases. The letter is coffee stained on the left hand side due to large-dog-accident (bloody Yuri the first avant guard dog did it, clumsy lump of an animal but much missed).

Glasgow/Loire: Tramway/Frac de Pays de la Loire, 1995BR> 21 x 15cm 48pp plus card covers. Exhibition catalogue from conceptualist Monk's second Glasgow one man show which was entitled "A Brush with Death".
Monk's work often takes the works of great artists and gives it a twist. Particularly good are Monk's holiday paintings - the essence of a vacation instilled into a textual advert on canvas - sold at the same price as the original holiday. Fine. Scarce.
