Jonathan Borofsky's Man with Briefcase at #2968443, 1986, is a towering, white-collar figure holding a briefcase, presented as an archetypal cut-out image. In 1969, to aid his concentration, Borofsky began numbering pieces of blank paper every day, and each of his works received the number he had reached when it was completed. The number inscribed on this figure suggests sinister overtones and associations with concentration camp victims, soldiers' dog tags, and the series of numbers that identify individuals in a technological society.
