UNTITLED (FIRENZE SOGNA…). 1969. BROKEN RECORD SIGNED BY CHIARI.

Appropriated standard 33 rpm LP in original sleeve which has been deliberately broken by the Fluxus artist Chiari. The original record was Firenze Sogna… a compilation of Florentine music made in the 60s. The cover of the record is torn and over-written in pen and the broken vinyl has parts missing and has been deliberately scored on the record itself.  Signed in the middle of the sleeve, this was reglued to a backing sheet in 2003 in order to be exhibited. Provenance: from the archive of the minimalist musician Paolo Coteni given to Jan Van Toorn in 2010. Coteni was a close friend of Chiari. Condition as might be expected from a destroyed record and sleeve. Unique.
