Scope and Contents
The folded pamphlet includes an introductory essay by Pierre Restany and a manifesto by Isgro. The religious text in the books is cancelled with wide, black markings, so that no words, or very few words, remain visible on the page. The cancellations are typical of Isgro's visual poetic style. The four volumes are titled 1 to 4 Puntata. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
