Asger Jorn (b. Vejrum 1914, d. Århus 1973)

Guy Ernest Debord (b. Paris 1931, d. Bellevue-la-Montagne 1994)

G.-E. Debord: Mémoires. Structures portant d'Asger Jorn. Cph.: L'internationale Situationniste 1959. Illust. by Asger Jorn. In orig. sandpaper wrappers. Fine condition.

“The intention was to create a spontaneous expression; the two Situationists were not seeking to produce an elegant and expensive object. There was something throwaway about the book. It was more like a trace or leftover from a flurry of activity that was in opposition to the dictates of the spectacular commodity economy.”

(Hvid Kromann, Hold Sidenius a.o. (eds.): Danish Artist's Books. Cph 2013, 120 pp.)
