Die Arbeit existiert auch in einer grösseren Fassung mit 5 Meter Durchmesser; in der Rezeption auch als "Planet Flag" bezeichnet, wird diese erstmals 1982 im "Explorer's Club" in New York präsentiert. Im Spätsommer 1982 übergibt der Künstler die vorliegende kleinere Fassung persönlich an die Vorbesitzer Eine Ikone im Schaffen des Künstlers "Planet Sign" is the title of a performance and a performance object at the same time: two people placed at the back hold the "Planet Sign" with outstretched arms for a brief moment - according to James Lee Byars, a moment is enough for this: "Glimpse is enough". The work also exists in a larger version with a diameter of 5 metres; also called "Planet Flag" in reception, this was first presented in 1982 at the "Explorer's Club" in New York. In late summer 1982, the artist personally handed over this smaller version to the previous owners.
