When Thomas Huber in 1989 was commissioned by the Bayerische Hypothek Bank, he proposed to “melt the bank’s capital into soap”. The client declined the honor, after which Huber continued to work on his plan without the bank. He made a large number of paintings, drawings, watercolors and a scale model of the bank. In 1992 he exhibited in the Centraal Museum in Utrecht on the occasion of which an edition was published. The value of things – and therefore art was – questioned and money was turned into soap.

Nevertheless with the sale of the soap edition, soap was converted back into money. KvG

General Idea was a collective of three Canadian artists Ronald Gabe (1945–1994), Slobodan Saia-Levy (1944–1994), and Michael Tims (b. 1946). They met in Toronto in 1969, and later took the names Felix Partz, Jorge Zontal and AA Bronson. They started to name themselves as General Idea after they were addressed as such when they proposed an exhibition plan.

This item is extremely well preserved without line folds as is usually the case, due to flat storage in cardboard box and the fact that it was directly purchased from the publisher. See website of MoMA Collection in New York, USA. Felt pen signature is in splendid condition.
