LA FAIM DU C.N.A.C./ DINER DE LA SOCIETE HOMONYME. 1976.
£175.00
Paris.: C.N.A.C., 2 juin 1976
40 x 30cm, large format menu and exhibition catalogue for a feast to be held in Summer for invited guests. The ornate publication opens out first of all to display the food, wine and other options (including cigarettes and cigars this being france in the mid 70s) and pasted in the dish of the day option (Xerox). When one opens the menu further there is a 6pp textual essay “Notes pour le menu culturel homophon” by Daniel Spoerri, (“assisted by Daniel Abadie and Nathalie Manassey”) on thin paper bound in. The outer covers (card) display a collage by Spoerri of food wrappers. The whole item is noted as having been printed “served cold”! There are some rust marks from the staples here and the staples themselves are rusted, the inner paper is wrinkled but that is more to do with the extreme thinness of the onionskin paper employed. Slight brown marks to the top of the outer cards but all of the former condition issues are not too bad and this is a scarce document of food art.
