Important international artist's multiple published in 1989/90, bringing together works by ten leading figures of contemporary art. Issued under the title Protect Me From What I Want – Contemporary Archeology, Pandora Part Three, the edition combines multiples, objects, prints and conceptual works by some of the most influential artists of the late twentieth century. Published by Publishing House Bébert, Rotterdam, the edition was produced in a limited edition of 200 copies.

The title refers to Jenny Holzer's iconic statement “Protect Me From What I Want”, which serves as the conceptual framework for this remarkable project. Contributors include Richard Artschwager, Christiaan Bastiaans, Daniel Buren, Guillaume Bijl, Jenny Holzer, Edwin Janssen, Imi Knoebel, Robert Longo, Aldo Rossi and Rob Scholte.

All works are housed loose within the original black lacquered wooden box. The lid features an execution of Jenny Holzer's title work. Today, the edition is regarded as one of the more ambitious European artist-multiple projects of the late 1980s.
