This signed and numbered stiff paper print is not numbered, but probably it was part of the 10th Anniversary Hundertmark Edition box issued in 1980.
Ref. Eric Andersen
Jiří Valoch’s works are not of the narrative kind. Basically he presents the reader a few words or a short text and the reader finishes the work as if a verbal puzzle has to be resolved. In all cases it creates relational images in the mind, playing with connotations of the used notions. It is a question of filling in the open space within a group of given data. With this he draws attention to what happens when one is ‘reading’ his given letters or words. In “Eye Piece XIII” the reader makes a sculpture above the print with movements of the eye. KvG

This edition has been signed and dated on the portfolio. The backside of each separate card has been signed in pencil with ‘Valoch’. Two cards have been signed horizontally parallel to reading the words and two cards have been signed vertically, apparently to indicate that the words ‘here’ and ‘there’ should not be read horizontally on all of the four cards.

He participated in group shows in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Great Britain, Mexico, Spain, Italy, USA, Argentina, Germany, Switzerland, Hungary, Poland, Portugal, Austria, France, Belgium, Yugoslavia, Austria, Israel and Canada.

Her work features often erotic and uncanny images of her own body. She states on one of the inlays: ‘The body is a planet. It wants to be a paradise. Paradise calms down fever’
This box was published on behalf of the Venice Biennale 2005 in which Pipilotti Rist represented Switzerland with a solo exhibition. All loose items may be considered as artist’s publications, apart from the colophon insert.

Born in Budapest in 1938 [died in 2019], Dezsö Tandori is a novelist, playwright, translator, and graphic artist, as well as one of Hungary’s most celebrated poets. Brilliantly eccentric, and characterized by an astonishing formal dexterity, these poems address fundamental issues: the effort to establish personal identity in an impersonal world, the conflicting demands — private, social, and historical — that provide the texture of a lived moment, and the necessity of affirmation that finds its locus in the act of writing.
