The artist employed photocopying—a relatively novel reproductive technology in the mid‑1960s—to duplicate original studio materials. The uniform binders and consistent pagination create a systematic, archival aesthetic that emphasizes repetition and order.

Created in 1966, the work entered the Museum of Modern Art’s collection shortly after its completion, where it remains on view. Its acquisition reflects MoMA’s interest in documenting experimental approaches to art-making during the 1960s.

The piece aligns with a broader movement of the 1960s that explored the dematerialization of the art object and the elevation of concept over visual form. It resonates with contemporaneous practices of artists who used documentation, diagrams, and serial processes to interrogate the nature of artistic production.
