the swedish artist dan wolgers were asked to design the cover of stockholm phone book in 1992.
one example can be viewed at museum of moderns arts i new york. (i've seen prices ranged from 100 to 600 dollars)

another time when he had an exhibition at Liljevalchs, (a big art museum in stockholm) he stole two benches.
which he instantly auctioned off. (people actually when there to look at the empty space ) when he was convicted for embezzlement. he sold the unopened letter from the court for 2000 $, the same letter where later sold for almost 40 000 $
