Description: Mr. Cerny presented the piece as the work of 27 artists, one from each country. But it was all a huge hoax. Mr. Cerny admitted that he and two of his friends constructed the whole thing themselves, making up the names of artists, writing pretentious, absurd statements to go with their supposed contributions. Italy, for example, was shown as a soccer field with tiny soccer players. The statement read: "It appears to be an autoerotic system of sensational spectacle with no climax in sight."
