Note: Sold with this work is the original explanatory note from the Publisher, QED. This explains that the print was made, after a collage of 1956, with normal “collage” techniques by cutting and pasting parts of pictures from magazine in one day. The artist began by making a list of topics to be presented in the image: man, woman, humanity, domestic appliance, food, cars, cinema, TV, telephone, comics, tape recorder, history, space. The artist, who had to use the new technology, took several weeks to complete the work.
