No Binding. Condition: New. Officially unlimited edition of this plastic battery powered multiple, fewer than 50 seem to have been sold at the time. There was a limited edition of 11 copies, which was exactly the same but was numbered and signed, and sprayed blue. It goes for around £3500 on ABE.used to be £6000! Motorized plast…ic sculpture in stencilled original cardboard box. Unopened. Dated the year after Breer's seminal work on the Pepsi Pavilion, created by Experiments in Design and Technology (E.A. T). This is a miniaturized version of those largs "floats" that would parade around autonomously. Comes with an original handwritten letter about placing his works with the London Filmmakers Co-operative. Like the big models, every time this little moving sculpture bumps into something it changes course. A robot, a friend. Mint in new condition original box with slight dent on box corner.
