There is a lot about this piece in the lecture"What I Learned About Psychoanalysis From Contemporary Art" (see-'Stories').
"Kubler" is George Kubler, an art historian who wrote a splendid book in 1962 The Shape of Time. This work makes a "sign" out of George Kubler's idea that history is a living process. The "accumulating body of knowledge" is not static; what is new and what is old are continuously being re-thought in relation to one another. Since 1973 when we acquired it, this piece has become our family motto.
