Dieter Roth
Little Tentative Recipe
Stuttgart, Germany: Edition Hansjorg Mayer, 1968
11.3 x 10.3 x 10.3 cm.
Edition of 100 signed, dated and numbered copies
A miniature book (8.8 x 8.8 x 8.8 cm) made from approximately 800 multicoloured Rotaprint-prints and housed in a stamped wooden box (typically made to hold tea), which also served as its shipping container.
The work was designed and bound by Graham Paw and John Wells and printed by students at the Watford School of Art, England, following the instructions/score or 'recipe' by Roth:
"PRINT until you cant stand it anymore or [until] you dont want anymore, take away, for binding for instance, the sheets which the machine cannot take anymore (torn, wrinkled, or beautiful according to someone's taste), dont throw anything away"
