Other contributions by Wolf Vostell (powdered pigment & a printed sheet in a cellophane pouch), Hans Joachim Dietrich (plastic hook on yellow cardboard sheet, signed), Eckart Rahn (signed), Gerhard Ruehm (hand-stamped name), Henning Christiansen (hand-stamped name), René Block, Claus Bremer, Ludwig Gosewitz, Dick Higgins, Allan Kaprow, Ben Patterson, Ben Vautier, members of the Zaj group et al. Portfolio cover shows regular age toning and mild handling wear, with a small dent (not punctured) made by Dietrich's protruding hook. As often happens, the multiples by Beuys show signs of aging; the chocolate is dried out and partially crumbled. However, the other multiples are intact and are generally in good condition.
