"Vigo denomina relativuzgir's a los objetos, colages y dibujos realizados en ese periodo.

Signed by Johannes Cladders, Monchengladbach Museum director.
Dated 28/11/74 and numbered.
Edition of 90.
It comes with the photocopy of a letter by Lawrence Weiner:
"The work itself: BROKEN OFF is a public freehold. The multiple functions as a means of presentation of a work + the signature of at that time the Director of a Museum that the work is art (I believe that his position gave him the credential of an expert).
In effect the edition is a ticket to ride.
I cannot influence how you choose to utilise the edition & the work
The artist may construct the work
The work may be fabricated
The work need not be built
Each being equal & consistent with the intent of the artist the decision as to condition rest with the receiver upon the occasion of receivership."
