Edition of 150 copies, numbered, dated and signed on the front cover, with black and blue pencils, by the artist. Reykjavik, D. Roth, 1973. Rare. During approximatively one year, 1971-1972, D. Roth published ads in this magazine, texts such as "Die Kühe haben uns die meisten Filetsteaks serviet"; "Man der ist richting verückt"... This work is close, for instance, to the Kostelanetz's one, publishing anonymous works in Artforum (1968-69) one year long. But, if the process is the same, the final result is totally different. Not only because the Roth's ads are signed. But the choice of that particular medium, the free ads magazine, with a bad quality paper and printing means a special esthetic, very typical of D. Roth's work. Trashy. And further more, these issues, in the way they are bound together, give, at the end, what Kostelanetz's work does not achieve: a book. Which becomes, in fact, even if it still looks like a book, something else than a book: an art object. A wonderful one. D. Roth, Gesammelte Werke Band 40, Bücher und Grafik (2. Teil) u.a.m., n° 65.
