They also provided the vocabulary for further series. … In 1969 Peter Townsend, the editor of Studio International, published a book in which I made each page as a single variation, making a complete, finite series (Four basic kinds of straight lines). Later the color version of this book was published in 1971 by the Lisson Gallery, London’ Ref.1: p.33 and p.40
