Item description from seller

Color illus. [138] pp. Three vols. 4to, yellow printed softcover, staple-bound. London: Book Works, 2004. All three versions of this scarce artist’s book, containing photographs of books by Lawrence Weiner, Ed Ruscha, and Sol Lewitt in Monk’s personal collection and an interview with Seth Siegelaub that Monk conducted in October 2003. From the publisher’s description: "Jonathan Monk is an artist who loves other artists. His work draws on oblique autobiographical references and personal anecdotes together with art historical strategies and legacies to express a critical camaraderie in his subject. Cover Version features a selection of seminal publications from Monk’s extensive collection of artists’ books. Sol LeWitt, Lawrence Weiner and Ed Ruscha are represented side by side to form a cogent series, which presents a contemporary investigation into materiality and the problems of signification in conceptual art publishing. An integral section of Cover Version is a transcribed telephone conversation between Jonathan Monk and Seth Siegelaub, which unfolds and discusses their mutual obsession with book making and collecting whilst speculating on the nature of the object. This ‘collectable’ book also has three different covers designed with its monetary value in euros, dollars and pounds, a direct reference to Lawrence Weiner’s 1968 publication Statements." All three books are in fine condition. Designed by Jérôme Saint Loubert Bié and printed in an edition of 1000 copies total by Impressions du Sagittaire.
