Additional information
In spite of the poor biro ink quality of the used pen, in graphological sense the diacritic hand movements in the signature are authentic. In a forensic sense it seems that Bruce Nauman tends to use his full name when it comes to dedication or a personal request to sign one of his catalogues or post cards. For comparison of handwriting see image below.

FRANCK BRAGIGAND, Restauration of Life – Order the next one…, 2003
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.
On a nearby wall the price setting written by Franck Bragigand was shown:

Added information:
in the nineties, during a long period of years discussions were held about whether the UK should leave the EU or not. The Independent published an adapted image of ‘Event’ on Wednesday 13 March 1996 with a glued on comment saying: ‘Prime Minister, how do you feel about a referendum? ….. with apologies to the artist’. The artist was never informed about this second hand use of his photo work he made in 1975.
