NOTES
A configuration of 422 black, numbered dots is primarily clustered at the center of this page, though 14 are interspersed over the otherwise blank portions of the paper. This work belongs to a series of photoreproductions onto which Georg Herold applied only the final dot, in this case number 422. The other 421 were photocopied from previous drawings in the series. The composition alters after multiple photocopies as the dots become blurry and the numbers illegible, questioning the notion of originality.
