Scope and Contents
This book documents the antics of J.S.G. Boggs, a visual artist whose ouevre consists of drawn reproductions of currency that are bartered as artworks to merchants for wares or sevices. It raises the questions of trust in anything as confoundingly insubstantial as money, and how to place a value in art and other things. The book is illustrated with reproductions of currency drawn and designed by Boggs. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
