Scope and Contents
William Allen: One of Valoch's most successful prints - a discourse on books by artists and conceptualism. In Guy Schraenen's book on Artist's Books "BUCHLER UBER BUCHER" (Neues Museum, Weserburg, Bremen, 1993) a special homage is paid to the print - where a reprint of the 'fragment' was laid into the publication. The reprint is on different paper & sized differently (text stretched and wider on non textured paper) and does not have the historic 'actual fragment' feel of the original (& is of course not signed etc). In the catalogue the work is listed as 1973, edition of 9 suggesting that this print is the true first edition (signed edition of 50), or possibly that the details of the original were incorrectly given to Schraenen ? -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
