13 Variations / Williams, Emmett., 1965
This work is also designated Mat Mot No.6. The piece consists of six words written by Gertrude Stein, "when this you see remember me," a color assigned to each word. Each print doubles the number of words from the previous plate such that in the final print the 24,516 words fuse together. The work was made by handstamping the work on 72 plates, and the integrated result visible only after 78 operations of the color press. The stamping was done at full speed to achieve the fusion of words, not the spreading of color. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

A Flexible History of Fluxus Facts & Fictions, 2006
Williams writes in his forward, "The fables - on the right-hand pages of the book - came first. Only gradually, after several exhibitions of these far-fetched fictions, did I come to realize that there was at least an iota, a jot or a tittle of truth - and sometimes a big blob of reality - in each and everyone one of them. And here, for the first time, the documentation appears opposite the collages themselves...on the left hand pages, opposite each of the cartoons, are enlightening documents from the author's personal archive relating some of the unlikely things that really happened in Performance Art 'show biz' over the years." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
