Geneva: 5 rue de La Muse, 2016
21 x 15cm, 4pp announcement card reproducing a bitmapped photograph of a black Porche sportscar over the inner pages. A work dedicated to RH (Richard Hamilton) - the actual car shown was Hamilton's that came to auction in the year before this election. Monk also discovered that the car's official manual was written by a "Richard Hamilton" - hence he began to recreate the car but by enlarging the online auction image - the life size images being heavily pixilated. This card is in VG condition and is signed on the back cover by Monk.

San Francisco: The Thing,  2016
30 x 21cm, 24pp (self cover). A wall calendar for the year 2016 which was sent out to subscribers of The Thing magazine by the publishers. It  is an almost complete collection of Meeting pieces by Jonathan Monk.  The works pieces have never before been gathered/archived in one document, and include everything from Meeting #3 (Palais des Galces Paris le 16 mars 2006) to the new meeting specially created for this calendar (Golden Gate Bridge San Francisco September 30th 2016).  The publishers say only 500 copies were made.
"The artist will meet the owner of each piece at the place and time stated.  It is important to understand that the work is the actual rendezvous and not the invitational text that preceeds it.  It is also important to realize that like all meetings, there is a possibility these meetings will not be met."  - Jonathan Monk
This copy was a gift from Jonathan Monk to Paul Robertson and is unusually signed in pencil on the inside back cover.
