Unfortunately I let myself get talked into making a footprint. As it is by me and I am very pedantic, it had to be in the ?uvre Catalogue: I had made it, albeit not with my hands, but with my feet. For some years I ran after the lady who owned it and surely regarded it as an oddity, in order to photograph it, inscribe the ?uvre number 670 [671??] on it and sign it. This took a long time, because she often changed her address, put me off and didn't understand why I had pestered her for years for something which could have long since landed in the dustbin, for that matter.
