About the "Hang On" illustrated book edition:
Of the announced edition of 9 unbound and 12 bound, only 9 unbound examples were realized.
There are varying hand additions across the edition of illustrated books. Impression number 5/9 was also available for examination by MoMA cataloguers, but was not available for reproduction. In that example, plate 13 has chine collé, and red and blue watercolor, pencil, and gray watercolor wash additions. - Curatorial Remarks:
- The color of the hand additions and paper type could not be documented because this work is not in MoMA's Collection and could not be examined in person.
