Beautiful artists' multiple by renowned Dutch conceptual artist Boezem (1934 -) featuring a photo sequence of the sky with clouds. Pictures were taken with intervals of 30 minutes on May 20 between 9:00 and 17:00. Themes of air and space frequently mainifest as central motifs in Boezem's work. Another exemplary work is 'Signing the Sky above the Port of Amsterdam with an Aeroplane' (1969), in which a small airplane’s vapor emission spells out his name in the sky.
