Annotation:
The present work, executed in the late 1970's or early 1980's, belongs to the so called "Häutungsaktionen" (skinnings), presumably executed in the "Gentlemen's Study" at the house of the artist's parents in Winterthur, which was used as the scene for the artistic painstaking process. Rooms were covered with gauze, layered with latex and than peeled off in shreds, in so called "Häutungsaktion" (skinning).
