various sizes and colours
A gallery sign lying on the seat of a yellow chair explained in short that visitors could go out back into the street searching for a chair left at the street garbage. Once back in the gallery, a buyer could choose a colour that would be painted on by the artist. For each extra colour added to a part of the chair – ‘un plan, une couleur’ – an amount of money was added to the sale price.
