Starting in 1968, Polish artist Edward Krasinski began placing blue tape on the walls of his studio and galleries. As a conceptual device that brought together various elements in a space, the tape became Krasinski's signature material. He said, "I have a roll of blue tape in my hand so I stick it on. Wolves pee to mark their territory: I stick the blue tape to mark mine." Made for Italian scholar and curator Arturo Schwarz in 1972, these objects, united by blue tape, existed first as a group in Krasinski's studio. Later, in 1974, the artist began to refer to the installed group of works as Intervention with a Blue Line.
