Glasgow: s.p. (Maris), n.d. (2005) 29 x 21cm, original found exhibition catalogue by Joseph Beuys which has lost its covers and shows evidence of fire on all sides. The book has been sealed into a plastic transparent sheet with added cloth plasters. Additionally the book has been signed "Bysue" - an anagram of "Beuys" and with a small drawing of a hat - both deliberately looking like an original Beuys signature and drawing.
