[16] leaves, printed on rectos only. 8vo, printed white softcover, title on spine. New York: Self-published; Bern: Kunsthalle Bern, 1984. Uncommon artist's book by Conceptual artist Ian Wilson (1940-2020); from an edition of 500 copies. "Wilson has also produced a number of artist books, each simply titled Section followed by a number.

As such, naming his artist's books Section followed by a number is homologically related to Buddhist or Hindu sutras, collections of canonical texts that were then assembled into a book of teachings."Ken Lum, "Ian Wilson: From Chalk Circle to Full Circle" in Everything is Relevant, Writings on Art and Life, 1991-2018 (2020), p. 241.
