Scope and Contents

This image with typed text, letraset, and abstract markings with the image of an eye in the center is reproduced in Annoncenteil Arbeiten auf/mit Papier, Luchterhand, 1971. It is also the cover design for Klaus-Peter Dencker's book, Text=Bilder Visuelle Poesie International. The inscription is written on the verso of the overlay of the photograph by Gerz. This photograph is designated as No.496 in Gerz's Catalogue Raisonne Volume III but mistakenly called a collage rather than photograph. Presumably, the original collage was either lost or destroyed. The book also depicts another similar collage with the same title that is also held by the Sackner Archive. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Dates: 1968
