In 1970 Slothouber and Graatsma represented the Netherlands at the Venice Biennale/ In 1966 Jyhey won the Sikkens Prize for the way they connected colour and space. Among the other winners of the prize were Gerrit Rietveld, Le Corbusier, and Donald Judd.

These serigraphs were made in an edition of only 20 pieces each. The frames are included. Slothouber and Graatsma never signed their works as they saw themselves as “anonymous discoverers of the many applications of cubics”
