Untouched & Unprinted Paper, 1990. BF | A | 24 x 15 x 5 cm, loose sheets in a slipcase, Edition: 50 signed and numbered copies. A slipcase with pristine wrapping paper, wrapped in brown paper and sealed with a brown paper tape. The artist has neither printed on nor touched the stack. It is said that Kippenberger even went so far in his efforts to free art from the artist's hand that he has not even seen the paper. The sticker on the front of the ream, however, was signed by the artist. | |
