Complete set of 4 color screenprints on wood panels in wood box with color screenprinted cover, 1966. Each panel: 223x225x20 mm; 9x9x1 inches; box: 275x275x90 mm; 11x11x3 1/2 inches (overall). Signed, dated and numbered 8/50 in felt-tip pen and black ink (the edition was abandoned due to production and material difficulties), on the underside of the box cover and each panel signed and dated later in felt-tip pen and black ink, on the underside. Printed by Stephen Poleskie, Chiron Press, New York.
The scale and color combinations of the numbers in this box set correspond to those in Indiana's (1928-2018) iconic Exploding Numbers, set of four oils on canvas, 1964-66, now in a private collection. This box was likely based on these panels and was created during the time Indiana was working with Poleskie at Chiron Press, New York, on the Paris Review Poster, color screenprint, 1965, and Purim: The Four Facets of Esther I and II, color screenprints, 1967.
