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.

This group of cards and announcements includes a photo stat with a hand written text in which Marlene Dumas writes about her removal to a boat called ‘Casa Cara’ moored in Amstel river.
