Object Description

On Thursday, March 11, 2011, Pfeiffer presented BCMA Curator, Joachim Homann with a paperback supplement (8 x 7 inches) to "Out of the Sky • 9/11". The supplement was made by the artist after "Out of the Sky • 9/11" and that is why it wasn't received at the same time.
The book is entitled ”List of Victims” and says inside: ”This booklet is part of “Out of the Sky- 9/11” By Werner Pfeiffer, A commemoration of the victims of the terror attack on the US on September 11, 2001”
