Encyclopaedia of Missing Art
I was looking at the yellow monochrome below when a square part of it went missing. I asked a passing Art Authority if they had seen the missing part anywhere, and they had, but as an handbag resting on a chair close-by. What sort of qualifications do Art Authorities receive these days? Although the difference between an ‘art’ object and a ‘real life’ object

has now disappeared, surely the difference between the two and three dimensions remains.
For the sake of sanity I did not inspect the chair and so now report that on this day [Tuesday 3-2-98] and at this hour [5:06pm] , a part of the above monochrome continues, albeit regrettably and due to no fault of my own, to be ‘missing’.
