 <\/p>\n

The artist J. S. G. Boggs died last week at sixty-two. As the\u00a0New York Times<\/em>\u2019s obit headline put it, HE MADE MONEY. LITERALLY<\/a>.<\/small> Boggs, who argued that every banknote was a work of art, drew counterfeit bills with an intricate attention to detail. His craftsmanship was only somewhat undermined by the fact that his fakes were one-sided, and that they contained jokes like ONE FUNDRED DOLLARS<\/small> or DO YOU HEAR ANYTHING BEING SAID HERE, OR AM I EMPTY NOW? IS ANYBODY HOME? HELLO?<\/small><\/p>\n

For many artists, mere imitation would be enough\u2014as I write this, for instance, Mike Bouchet has an exhibition at Marlborough Gallery that features nothing but the smell of money<\/a>\u2014but Boggs was determined to turn theory into praxis. He liked to spend his fakes out in the world, to watch people squirm when he pressed them to accept his \u201cBoggs bills\u201d as \u201creal\u201d money. The art wasn\u2019t in the drawing; it was in unlocking the door to a shadow dimension, one where all of us are made to feel the chilly emptiness at the center of the almighty dollar.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lawrence Weschler\u2019s excellent Boggs: A Comedy of Values<\/a> <\/em>(1999), an expansion of his 1988 New Yorker<\/em> profile<\/a> on Boggs, details a typical Boggs transaction:<\/p>\n

What he likes to do \u2026 is invite you out to dinner at some fancy restaurant, to run up a tab of, say, eighty-seven dollars, and then, while sipping coffee after dessert, to reach into his satchel and pull out a drawing \u2026 a virtually perfect rendition of the face-side of a one-hundred-dollar bill. He then pulls out a couple of precision pens from his satchel\u2014one green ink, the other black\u2014and proceeds to apply the finishing touches to his drawing \u2026 The ma\u00eetre d\u2019 eventually drifts over, stares for a while, and then praises the young man on the excellence of his art. \u201cThat\u2019s good,\u201d says Boggs, \u201cI\u2019m glad you like this drawing, because I intend to use it as payment for our meal.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019m sure many a ma\u00eetre d\u2019 would\u2019ve liked, in his heart of hearts, to take Boggs up on the offer. But you know how it is: we\u2019re living in a society<\/em>, and cavernous marble-floored banks <\/em>are the pillars of this society, and the banks only accept certain forms of currency, and so on, and so forth\u2014the whole fiat-money shtick boils down to a kind of faith and social goodwill that would just plain collapse <\/em>were some rogue waiter to accept illegal tender just for kicks. This is money<\/em>, man: show a little respect!<\/p>\n

After Boggs tried to pawn off the counterfeit C-note, he\u2019d take out an actual hundred dollar bill and dangle it before the sweaty-palmed ma\u00eetre d\u2019 alongside the fake. \u201cI\u2019m an artist, and I drew this,\u201d he says in Weschler\u2019s account:<\/p>\n

It took me many hours to do it, and it\u2019s certainly worth something. I\u2019m assigning it an arbitrary price that just happens to coincide with its face value\u2014one hundred dollars. That means, if you do decide to accept it as full payment for our meal, you\u2019re going to have to give me thirteen dollars in change. So you have to make up your mind whether you think this piece of art is worth more or less than this regular one-hundred-dollar bill. It\u2019s entirely up to you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Boggs\u2019s art excelled at inducing a certain deep anxiety, the kind that hovers, all nebulous and jittery, around abstractions like \u201cvalue\u201d or \u201cauthenticity\u201d or \u201cbeing a stooge for the plutocracy.\u201d That last declaration\u2014\u201cit\u2019s entirely up to you\u201d\u2014is the real pisser. It puts the weight of centuries of meaningless convention on the shoulders of the poor ma\u00eetre d\u2019, who must decide on the spot between the individual and the collective: whether he\u2019ll prick a tiny hole in the nation\u2019s social fabric or disappoint one very hardworking, fast-talking artist. What would you do? Would you take the fake and spit in the face of\u00a0the Fed? They set the monetary policy for the whole nation, painstakingly, tirelessly, fiscal year after fiscal fucking year\u2014you think you know\u00a0better<\/em> than them what the value of a buck is? You\u2019re gonna turn your back on Janet Yellen just for kicks? The artist, on the other hand, is right there in front of you, flesh and blood, with his pens out and everything, doing honest work. It\u2019s a real pickle.<\/p>\n

Boggs would apparently do this kind of thing all the time, and it\u2019s disturbing fun to track the reactions he gets. A clip on YouTube captures one shopkeeper as she mutters \u201ccan\u2019t do it, can\u2019t do it<\/a>,\u201d seemingly more to herself than to him. He plays up the art-making angle: \u201cWould you enjoy having this framed and hanging on your wall?\u201d \u201cNo, not really,\u201d she says. \u201cAnything that I like has to have flowers in it.\u201d Boggs is exasperated: \u201cI put some flowers right down here!\u201d he says, showing her the trees that line the Capitol on his\u00a0bill.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s tragic that Boggs has died now, when fakery and mistrust are ascendant in every limb of the body politic and not just in its wallet. But maybe he\u2019s just lying in wait.\u00a0Artnet News<\/em> caught up with Weschler<\/a>, who floated a tantalizing theory:<\/p>\n

I wouldn\u2019t have put it past Boggs to have faked his own death. I had a fantasy of him off in Switzerland, having a great time reading the obituaries. That would have been like him \u2026 He was just short of being a con man, but no more than anyone in the art world, or for that matter in the world of finance, which of course, was his whole point.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Assuming he\u2019s really gone, he will be missed. And if he\u2019s not gone\u2014if he happens, by chance, to be reading this very notice\u2014I would like to suggest that there\u2019s never been a better time to destabilize our economy by flooding it with Boggs bills, just as so many Macedonian teens have deluged us with fake news. Forgery is in the spirit of the times. If democracy is going to degrade itself past the point of recognition, we must fight fire with fire: Boggs should be at the forefront of every effort to devalue anything.<\/p>\n
