"SAFFA" is an early example of Hains' iconic series of oversized matchbooks, which he began in the mid-1960s, revisiting it in the early 2000s. The title is the acronym of an Italian tobacco company. Made by a carpenter according to his instructions, Hains' matchbooks challenge the notion of authorship. Playing with the idea of the readymade, the works move between humor and seriousness, aesthetic pretension and thingness
