More DescriptionFor this series, artist Lawrence Weiner (*1942) has made an artist's book in exactly the same format (A6) and with the same number of pages (24) as his first contribution to documenta 5 in 1972, curated by Harald Szeemann.

A central figure in Conceptual art from its beginnings, Weiner works in a wide variety of media including video, books, performance, and installation.
