REPAIR. PERFORMANCE RELIC (SHOE). 1985. UNIQUE WORK FROM A SERIES OF 15. SIGNED BY KAPROW.

Bonn: s.p. (Kaprow), 1985
A worn shoe with added plaster and gauze in a plexiglass box. One of a number of 15 different shoes used by Kaprow in a street happening – participants were asked to bring old shoes with them and give them to Kaprow who then swept the shoes through the streets of Bonn using a large brush. After this stress on the shoes, each was lovingly repaired by the artist using materials associated with medical healing.
Each shoe used in this edition was unique. Very good condition bearing in mind the original use of the object. Signed and numbered from the edition of 15.
