“For my collages I use only newsprint for their sources, and most involve only the removal and/or replacement of heads or faces. I remember as a kid, I received a microscope for my birthday. The first thing I examined through its lenses was a tiny scrap of torn newspaper. I was astounded. Instead of a single, solid sheet-like material, it was in fact a tangled mass of threadlike fibers, a chaotic jungle of microscopic pulp. Ever since, the fragility and inherently temporary nature of this particular (and now nearly obsolete) material has attracted me.” J. Jarmush

‘William Eggleston (born in 1939, Memphis Mississippi) is an American photographer who pioneered color photography. For the Point d’Ironie, William Eggleston selected four photographs from The Outlands. The Outlands, a series of photographs taken by Eggleston between 1969 and 1974, establishes the groundbreaking visual themes and lexicon that the artist would continue to develop for decades to come.’ Agnes b.

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:
