Saksofon til salgs!* (Saxophone for sale!)

Saksofon til salgs!* (Saxophone for sale!) (1992) was an art action by Balke & friends, with Freunde guter Musik as co-producers.

Tone Avenstroup provides the following information about the project:

"Erik was invited to play music at the event 4'33", arranged by Freunde guter Musik. He brought his smallest saxophone and his friends. We tried to sell the saxophone. Despite the unequivocal message of the sales songs we did not succeed. The action was performed in Institut Unzeit, Berlin."
