By 1970, Kosuth's series had progressed to the Seventh Investigation which was comprised of a series of "propositions." This proposition #8 was created for a show at Galerie Daniel Templon in Paris from November-December 1970 where this limited edition booklet was dispersed across several desks in the gallery space. The text entirely in French is composed of excerpts from unattributed texts about WWII (the French Resistance, the annexation of Alsace and Lorraine, the siege of Stalingrad, etc.) and a final page which is an alpha-numeric schematic seemingly related to the book's interior structure. Slight browning to margins of cover and a hand-written note of the artist and gallery top right (which has been on every copy we have seen) and staples are slightly rusted else VG+. Rare,

While it is possible to find some copies of the LP the gatefold sleeve is incredibly rare to find and any copies for sale are either sans sleeve or are a later facsimile reprint of it. This is the original and while there is some wear on all edges and one slit on the spine and some wear at top and bottom it is an incredible find.

The record is in VG+ condition. Clearly rare.
