DECLARATION FOR OUR ITALIAN ARTISTS AND COMRADES: FOLLOW COURBET. INSTRUCTIONS FOR STEPS OF ACTION AT THE VENICE BIENNALE REVOLT. 1968.

Venice, s.p. (Nash et al), 1968

30 x 22cm. 1pp. Black on orange. Polemical leaflet written by Nash, Thorsen and Caesar and issued as part of their protest in collaboration with the ‘World Anarchist Council’, when the artists established a ‘Pavilion of Revolt’ at the Venice Biennial by occupying and “detourning” the vacant Swedish Pavilion by use of a large banner and joining in with the occupation of the Academia de Belli Arte. Reproduces a photograph of the artists’ occupation. A near fine example (with former hard to see horizontal crease line) of this provocation against the formalisation of the art world. Scarce.
