J.S.G. Boggs

Boggs uses an obvious use of appropriation through the duplication of currency around the world. By creating his currency artworks several questions arise. Is this counterfeiting money, where does the value of the artwork come from, among others. To me I believe that the value of the artwork comes from the collection of all three parts of the piece. Without all the pieces the show is never complete and the value of the piece isn't absolute. That along with the procedure that must be undertaken to gain all the pieces adds value in itself.
