Alvin Comiter prepared this contact sheet in 1973 for Allan Kaprow to use later in “Easy Activity” (1975), a proto-activity booklet published in a book of art history essays. Comiter, who was trained in nuclear physics before he went to art school, graduated from the California Institute of the Arts in 1973, where Kaprow was a dean and professor (1969–74). Comiter also took the photographs that Kaprow would use in one of Kaprow’s first official activity booklets, Routine (1975).
