In 1969, Seth Siegelaub organized a group show “One Month” and selected 31 artists he invited to produce a work on their assigned day in March of that same year. As a kind of exhibition catalogue he produced a calendar of 31 pages entitled “March on 1969”, which included six blank pages corresponding to seven artists who turned down Siegelaub’s invitation (Carl Andre, Michael Asher, Dan Flavin, Sol Lewitt, Bruce Nauman and Ed Rusha and xxxx).

This limited edition Balloon-Dog-on-leather-bag was only carried in select stores across the United States and not in Europe or Asia, including Los Angeles, Chicago and Dallas. The 15th of July 2014 was the opening day of H&M’s newest Fifth Avenue flagship store in Manhattan, New York. The regular edition was put online at the company’s site hm.com two days later on July 17th, 2014 and was sold out in minutes.
At the opening most probably a few hundred handbags have been signed and dated by Koons. Nikki Lohr, reporter of The Observer/Gallerist wrote on her blog: “Mr. Biesenbach was also on board: “I love Jeff Koons working with Lady Gaga and working with H&M,” said Mr. Biesenbach. “In a certain way, it is what his work deals with naturally. It makes complete sense.” Always a man of the people, Mr. Koons signed almost every purse and scrap of paper pushed at him throughout the night. A woman in a black silky baseball cap and short black pigtails held out a Sharpie and her white iPhone to Mr. Koons. “Will you sign it?” she squealed. He traced a ‘J’ before he looked up at the woman and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, it’s just not working.”
Original status in 2014 when the handbag was provided with a signature:

Jeff Koons is a Neo-Pop artist who turns ‘the child in us’ (reminiscent of ideas in the Cobra movement) into art and art business, willingly absorbed by the art world. And beyond…

JASON DODGE, Electricity, 2014
text on yellow paper, white feather, cardboard box
Typically for the work of Jason Dodge is his drive to make use of found objects with small subtle alterations. These may be called materially minimalistic, but its simplicity often belies a more complex artistic process or instruction. In ‘Electricity’ the feather is to be stuck in an electric socket in function resulting in a questioning surrealistic installation.
