Originally affixed to the cover of Lightworks Magazine issue 14/15, the publisher Charlton Burch sent me a few standalone copies many years ago. Originally published by Fluxus as a matchbox, the matchbook reads:

“USE THESE MATCHES TO DESTROY ALL ART — MUSEUMS ART LIBRARY’S — READY — MADES POP — ART AND AS I BEN SIGNED EVERYTHING WORK OF ART — BURN — ANYTHING — KEEP LAST  MATCH FOR THIS MATCH”
