Additional notes:
116 pages are 116 visible and measurable parts of INFINITO, conceived as an enlarged written word.

The sequence order of the pages is, from top left in a clockwise direction for each of the first seven letters, corner, a part of a side, a corner, a part of a side, and so on, finishing with the centre.

Where the inner corners of the letters are concave, their relative convex corners are considered.

The last nine pages are respectively the four extreme parts (top, bottom, right, left) of the outer circumference, the same four parts of the inner circumference and the centre of the letter O.

This book is the first part of a work which develops in this edition and in later editions. The work is accompanied by another consisting of pencil drawings begun by the artist in 1969.

With original glassine wrapper, damaged.
