      "The edition of the checkered alphabet consists of 26 copies only. Each copy has been numbered and signed."--Colophon.
      In Dutch, with a summary in English.
    • Summary:"Eight basic color groups, blue, brown, yellow, gray, green, orange, purple and red, form the starting point. Within each colorgroup 26 color related words have been sought, each corresponding with a letter of the alphabet. Through a specific counting system the individual letters that make up a certain word, are converted to numbers, based on mathematic premises. The numbers are applied to an x- and y- axial system. The color of the checkered pattern evolves from the color of the word that is being used. The resulting checkered pattern is being named after the initial letter of the word involved. The total result is a collection of 208 unique checkered patterns."--Page [1] (Concept) of the Ruiten alfabet gathering.
