An autonomous work of art by Jonathan Meese in the form of a modified, overdrawn Dollar bill. Meese often uses dollar bills in his work. Occasionally you will find one in his paintings, but also, for example, in the edition 'Nabob zu Nabob = DAF (Menschheit)' that he made in 2000 for Texte zur Kunst.
The dollar bill is recto (front) with texts in red highlighter 'Kunst an die Macht' and 'Jmeese' with the mention '2023'. In blue highlighter the word 'Art' and in ballpoint 'Fur Toni Hermann' with the words 'Parsifal' and 'Lohengrin'. These words also refer to the symbolism in the work of Jonathan Meese.
On the back (verso) is written in red highlighter the text 'Gesammtkunstwerk Deutschland'. In blue highlighter: 'Art is Stunk'. In ballpoint the mention 'Fur Familie Toni Hermann' / 'Von Familie Meese 23.1.2023'.
The artwork is framed in a wooden depth frame with glass. The whole is in new condition. The work is particularly difficult to photograph because of the reflection. In reality, it looks magnificent, deepened with a black back and white passe-partout. The buyer may choose which side to be framed. At the moment the front (recto) is framed, but the banknote can be reversed by my framer after purchase.
