A Jigsaw puzzle with the printed image of a Jigsaw puzzle, commissioned by the Museum of Modern Art in 1975, for sale in their giftshop. The work is housed in a metal canister with a tin pull-top and a plastic lid. It was produced in an edition of 3000 in 1975 and a second edition of 1000 was reportedly released the following year, though the work remains scarce. It is valued at approximately $750 US.

In 1979, the artist produced Puzzle Puzzle, also for the MoMA, this time in an edition of 5000 (see following post here).
