Some of the sheets were published outside the edition of Galerie Der Spiegel and are labelled with a 'U' (= unsigned). Albers authorised the sale, but the sheets were not signed, dated, titled or inscribed. The sheets were therefore titled, labelled and numbered by Galerie Der Spiegel. We are grateful to Mr, Werner Hillmann, Galerie Der Spiegel, Cologne, for his scientific support.
