Signed, titled, dated and numbered on the back:"1/3" Ed. of 3 121 x 151 cm Provenance: - Artist's studio - Galerie de France, Paris - Purchased from the latter by the current owner - Private collection, Paris Our thanks to Mr. Thomas Hains for the information he kindly provided on this work. The buyer can be provided with a certificate upon request. Note: 'Raymond Hains multiplies swathes in order to develop a philosophy of the rebound in his 'macintoshages', through a cascade of information, a game of slippages whose rules are secret and subservient to the order of his own virtual wanderings. Here, however, a kaleidoscopic system of echoes of reality is created, where the accompanying images translate or are translated by the texts that either border or cover them.'
