French term or phrase: n. p.
"1992 : [Title of text]", in cat. Tinguely zu Ehren, éd. Galerie Littman, Bâle, n. p."

Presumably this means not published...

The document has been half-translated into English already, which accounts for the "in".

Explanation:
While "n.p." might mean many things, this one at least would appear to make sense here.

I left it as "n.p." in English as all the suggested solutions had those initials. I'm going with the voting here, but I think all of the solutions suggested here are possibilities. Thanks to all.

not published


Explanation:
I agree with you, it must be "non publié".
As for the "in" we use it to indicate the article is a contribution to a book/journal and I would tend to say it comes from latin.

nombre de pages / number of pages


Explanation:
It would seem this *is* published by Galerie Littman.
Could n.p. indicated "nombre de pages" - this would be usual bibliographic information. And begs the question why isn't it specified?
