The premise

I photographed every page of the Phillips Contemporary Art New York Evening Sale 14 May 2015 auction catalog with McDonald’s food on top.

Color-wise, pretty much everything pairs with McDonald’s.

Some works needed a few fries. Others needed the whole meal.

The book

NERO Editions published the photographs as an artist book. I held the book signing at a McDonald’s.
