Bochner's initial idea was to ask his artist friends to loan him their working drawings for the exhibit, but there was no
money to frame each piece, so Bochner compiled notebook pages of print material and working drawings by Donald Judd, Carl Andre, Jo Baer, John Cage, Tom Clancy, Dan Flavin, Milton Glaser, Dan Graham, Eva Hesse, Alfred Jensen, Michael Kirby, Sol LeWitt, Robert Mangold, Robert Moskovitz, Robert Smithson, and others into a
xeroxed volume which was then presented in four identical copies, each on their own pedestal.
