BEST PRICE FOR YOU MY FRIEND 2008
Best Price for you my Friend 2012 Migros (Winterthur), 2008 GB (Brussels),

Specially produced for contemporary art fairs, the piece consists of a receipt and an image. On the receipt, the first letters of the items purchased form the acrostic ‘Best Price for You my Friend’. While guaranteeing the best prices, the expression seems to allow a negotiation with the gallery owner, a haggling. At the same time, the document explicitly reveals the production costs and hints at the benefits shared between the gallery owner and the artist. The photographic image gathers all the products that have been purchased to ensure the completion of the project.
