Piero Manzoni, Life and Works. Berlin, Verlag Petersen Press, 1969

Numbered 78/100 and signed in marker by Jes Petersen on the plastic binder, 18 x 15 cm, ca. 60 translucent pp. bound by plastic slide spine. Except for the cover with printed title and publishing information, the mylar sheets are all blank. This is the second edition of 100 copies.

The artists' book was conceived by Manzoni just before his death in February 1963, the first edition was published posthumously by Jes Petersen later that year. Petersen appears to be the author of this publication, as his name is listed above the title. This was a Manzoni joke though Petersen did suggest the use of translucent paper. Ref Manzoni, Piero Editore Milan 1989 p.265. Exquisite rare work in very good condition.
