Canadian artist Micah Lexier has built an international reputation working in a variety of media, often making work with numerical themes, such as 1995’s “Self-portrait as a Lucite Cube Divided Proportionally a (Red) Volume Representing Life Lived and a (Clear) Volume Representing Life to Come, Based on Statistical Life Expectancy.” Over the past three decades, he has also produced a significant body of multiple materials to be distributed to viewers, including prize ribbons, printed balloons, custom-minted coins and individually numbered cards. Micah Lexier: I’m Thinking of a Number is a survey of the artist’s invitations, posters, book works, T-shirts, boxed sets and other multiples produced between 1980 and 2010. It includes a multiple created by the artist for this publication–a letterpress sheet of four stickers tipped in as the final work itemized by the monograph.
