GDR PAPER BAGS / DDR TUTEN. 1977. SIGNED.

Heidleberg: Staeck, 1977- 1980
26 x 15.7cm printed paper bag chosen by the artist as part of his Economic Values series. The point being to emphasis the clear functionality of a basic product which was printed by the East German state without advertising (although the bag is patterned). Each of the multiples was signed (and as here) some were stamped with the FIU impression. One of circa 350 issued, each bag is unique (due to variations of bag, stamp and signature placement) within the edition. Schellman 325.
