Panamarenko spent the summers of 1973 and 1974 at Martin Visser's place in Bergeijk to work on the development of his U-Control project.
The present lot is the original drawing for the edition (lithograph, handcolouring and collage) of seventy-five from 1972, published by Galerie Seriaal, Amsterdam.
