George Brecht
Games & Puzzles/Ball Puzzle/Bead Puzzle
Self-produced, circa 1965
11 x 12.1 x 7.7 cm.
Unique work
In the MoMA collection as the part of the Gilbert and Lila Silverman Fluxus Collection Gift, this is presumably the prototype for the later plastic box Fluxus editions of the same name.
The work consists of a wooden box containing two cards, to pieces of ivory and two marbles. The card for Ball Puzzle reads "Find ball under bare foot. Without moving, transfer ball to hand." The instructions for Bead Puzzle are "Arrange the beads so that they are the same. Arrange the beads so that they are different."
