Knife-Ship. 1986.
Mixed media.
Monogrammed , dated and dedicated lower right. On fine wove paper. 30,3 : 22,7 cm (11,9 : 8,9 in), size of sheet. An extremely witty tribute to the celebrated Swiss Army pocket-knife, which is such an invaluable aid in all situations encountered in life and – as shown here – in case of need is also suitable for use as a boat, albeit, as a precaution, embedded in a lifebelt. [KD]

In good condition. Corners with a few barely noticeable crease marks.
