This book showcases 'Eins. Un. One...' (1984), one of the last major works of French American artist Robert Filliou, which consists of 5,000 blue, red, yellow, black, white and wood-coloured dice of various sizes, each with a single dot on its face, randomly distributed over a surface of nine metres in diameter.

While Filliou rubbed shoulders with Joseph Beuys, George Brecht, John Cage, Allan Kaprow and Daniel Spoerri, he remained a discrete figure who wanted to abolish the arbitrary hierarchies established by art history.A new volume of the MAMCO Collection series.
