“La scatola/contenitore caratterizza l’intera collana di libri edita dal museo (...) ma il contenuto è lasciato alla completa libertà interpretativa dell’artista. Kounellis sceglie alcuni frammenti poetici di Aleksander Blok tratti da “Die Skythen” e stampati su quattro tavole di cartoncino e vi aggiunge un multiplo realizzato in cartone, ma dall’aspetto greve che probabilmente richiama alcune sue opere in cemento esposte nella mostra che è ststa occasione per l’edizione di questo libro” (Giorgio Maffei, «Libri e documenti. Arte povera 1966-1980», Mantova, Edizioni Corraini, 2007, pag. 92).
