This work is number four from an edition of five.

This enigmatic work by collaborative duo Allora & Calzadilla invites contemplation on systems of value, reproduction, and authenticity through its self-referential title, which positions the object's edition status as its primary identity. The piece challenges conventional notions of uniqueness and collectibility by foregrounding the bureaucratic language of the art market as its defining characteristic. In doing so, Allora & Calzadilla blur the boundaries between the artwork itself and the institutional frameworks that give it meaning.
