Catalogue Note
As Hubertus Butin explains with regards to this edition: 'The motif was designed on the computer, with the 40,0000 squares distributed by digital lot, and thus based on the principle of chance. There are four variations of the edition (each with 25 copies), the result of turning the sheet 90ยบ four times.'
