Scope and Contents

The image consists of two rows of capital X's interrupted by the word OUI. This is among the earliest drawings in concrete poetry made by Gerz. It is depicted as No.466 in his Catalogue Raisonnne Volume III. It should be noted that Gerz designated this work as an example of visual rather than concrete poetry despite the absence of an image. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
