"4,492,040 is a facsimile reprint of a series of catalogs produced by curator Lucy R. Lippard. Drawn from material originally published between 1969 and 1974, 4,492,040 includes reprints of all four of the catalogs from Lippard's hugely important "numbers shows"--A series of exhibitions named for the populations of the cities they were held in: 557,087 (Seattle [Art Museum]), 955,000 (Vancouver [Art Gallery]), c.7,500 ([California Institute of the Arts], Valencia, California), and 2,972,453 ([Centro de Arte y Comunicación], Buenos Aires). As with the originals, 4,492,040 is made up of a collection of loose notecards containing statements, documentation, and conceptual works by each artist, to be rearranged, filed, or discarded at will. This new edition is supplemented by a new afterword by Lippard."--Publisher's web site.
