Dimensions: Sheet: 31 × 42 cm (12 3/16 × 16 1/2 in.)

Condition: In very good condition, unframed.

Plate from the portfolio Hommage à Arthur Köpcke, published in 1979 by Den Danske Radeerforening af 1853, Copenhagen, in memory of the Fluxus pioneer Arthur “Addi” Köpcke (1928–1977); copies are held by Harvard Art Museums, mumok Vienna and The Broad, Los Angeles.
