Scope and Contents
The image depicts a lattice of 'X's' that disappear into a void in the central area of the page. The poem reads, "art - art so much - Unknown contained in presuming to think about it - even without frank - though I used to work my poor little book - very rich for eyes - I always felt - that one day - I could draw a little well-worn fact." Flowers Gallery NYC 2006 priced Humument fragments (part of a page) that are about 70% the size of Humument pages at $5,000. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
