Unique work from an edition of 10.002 different colour variations. Published by Die Galerie, Offenbach a.M. Printed by Quattrofoglio, as well as Claudio and Giuseppe Barbato, Spinea-Venice coordinated by Alberto della Vecchia.
The photolithograph was printed in four colours, the serigraph in seven colours and the metal embossing in ten colours always in different configurations. «The idea of producing 10.000 different variants, i.e. only one of each colour composition, fascinated the artist. It was like a fulfilment of his wishful thinking about graphics, to create as many sheets as possible as unique works and to bring them to as many people as possible.» from: Koschatzky 83, p. 194.
