LE CEDILLE QUI SOURIT. 1965. WITH EARLY VERSION OF LONG POEME COURT A TERMINER BY FILLIOU.

Villefranche-sur-mer: La Cedille Qui Sourit, n.d. (1965)

21 x 15cm, 9pp (single sided sheets) bound with rivets within card wrappers. The front card cover has plasticised left side to stop the rivets from damaging the paper and a rubber stamped title and address. A single number of this artist’s book issued by Robert Filliou and George Brecht from their shop in Villefranche-sur-mer where they sold object multiples, art and books. The covers of the books are very similar between different publications but the internal pages differ.

Here is a foreword by Alocco and an early version of “OBJET: Long poeme court a terminer chez soi de Robert Filliou” (which was republished many times by Filliou in different versions) followed by 7 pages of small b/w photographs of Ben and his shop in Nice.

VG+ condition – a rare and early Fluxus publication.
