About this work

This is a receipt for a purchase made at 53 Rome St in New York. The paper is yellowed, with black ink listing three items: "M." for $230.29, "FEEL" for $491.49, and "FAT" for $1,500.50. The total comes to $2,622.29, including tax. There’s a signature at the bottom, a date stamp, and some small printed codes. The odd item names stand out—especially "FAT," which might hint at something bigger. The receipt’s worn edges and faded look give it a vintage feel, like it’s been handled a lot. If you like this kind of strange, everyday art, check out The Museum of Modern Art.
