The performance artist Lil Picard submitted this charred sartorial piece to William Copley who, as publisher, vowed to spare no expense in creating multiples which faithfully reproduces the original submitted to him. In this case, a crew of hired students and volunteers had to burn each of the bow ties by hand. Includes original plastic bag. From the edition of approximately 2000 published by Letter Edged in Black Press of SMS: A Collection of Multiples, No. 4, August 1968. A conversation piece when worn at parties.
