A unique sculptural bookwork by Latham - made in 1959 - and is one of the artist's first SKOOBS (books backwards) that he later became well known for.
There is some dried white plaster on the back cover which may suggest this was mounted somewhere at some point but else it is as it is.
Early Skoobs are extremely hard to find and all are important objects in the history of conceptual art.

44 x 33 x 10 cm, leather briefcase with carious documents internally. This ornate object multiple is designed to take all of the effort out of illegal dealings and money laundering - the case (which would be useful for filling with cash) contains a Zurich letter box address and new alias for the owner in a sealed envelope, an original editioned  card with Patterson's portrait photo by Rainer Schmidt and a leather suitcase tag with label which is signed and numbered by Patterson in an edition of only 33 copies.

Patterson suggests this is a 'performance score' to be completed by the owner. So now you have an excuse for your illegal money laundering activities - it is ART.

The number that opens the case corresponds to the copy number of the edition.

All elements fine in like case. Purchasers should send us 10% of all income from the use of this item else we will grass you up.
