MÉMOIRES. STRUCTURES PORTANTES D’ASGER JORN. 1959. FIRST EDITION OF THIS FAMOUS BOOK.

Copenhague, Internationale Situationniste, 1959.
27.7 x 21cm, 64pp plus wrappers. Original sandpaper dustwrappers as published. This is one of the most famous of artist’s books. Jorn and Debord created a number of collages which were later overpainted by Jorn and sprinkled with texts by Debord which tell the story of the International Situationists in a somewhat oblique manner. The final book then had an unprinted sandpaper dust jacket added to the publication which Debord thought would damage any other book placed beside Memoires on a bookcase.

This is in near mint condition with only a few slithers of the sandpaper coming away on the dustjacket on the bottom right of the front dj.

Despite 500 of the book being published this is a rare item.
