Sit, Oey Tjeng — Het Kapotte Strijkijzer

Amsterdam, Netherlands, Fundatie Amsterdam, 1985. Softcover. Plain white wraps with cutout rectangle in cover. Unnumbered pages. Chiefly bw illustrations. Text in Dutch. "The contents of this package will seem familiar at first glance. I ask you not to be too hasty in your judgement. Your first thought will undoubtedly be: ha, an iron, I could certainly use it. However, the object you hold in your hand bears only a deceptive resemblance to the useful housemate that entices you to exclaim with joy. This iron is broken; with its premature end, it has closed the material cycle; it has become dead matter. I have investigated its potential as part of a work of art. The possibilities appear limited. The only thing I could do is dissolve the thing in nitric acid. Unfortunately, I have previously designated this chemical for the disappearance of an object that surpasses all others in its horrificness. So do with it what you will, just let me know what." - translated from foreword in Dutch. VG- some minor wear to wraps around edges .
