Use in article (WP:NFCC#7) Fluxus
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) To support encyclopedic discussion of this work in this article. The illustration is specifically needed to support the following point(s):

The image is a very famous one, having been used in publicity material, and has since been re-created a number of times, including on the cover of the Fluxus Codex. It has become the most famous illustration of a number of important ideas concerning fluxus, the visual and performance art movement form the 60s and 70s. Namely, that the pieces are mass produced, identical, cheap and easy to send, tactile, and in particular, not for museums, glass cabinets and the like, which has become the fate of many of the objects shown. The photo has become widely used to illustrate the movement's democratic tactile roots, its international distribution network, its opposition to traditional art market practices (such as fine art prints) and its attempt to subvert commodification of the art market, then under way with the likes of Pollock's paintings reaching astronomical prices.

Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) I intend to upload a number of pictures to support the article on a visual art movement; one performance, one artwork, one multiple, and one illustration of the cheap mass produced ideals of the movement. This is the best image I know of to illustrate the last idea.
