Daniel Spoerri 48 pages, paperback, dust jacket Edition: 285 copies + current edition "L'art en écrit" 2017.E Editions Janninck Format: 125 x 210 mm Enclosed is an original signed and unique work, stamps, fabric and ink stains on paper signed by the artist. Note: Assembling, trapping, exploring, gluing, hijacking, immortalizing and collecting are words that define Daniel Spoerri's work. Throughout his career, he has encouraged viewers to interact with works that are often unexpected, incongruous, farcical and even unbridled. With a passion for words, as evidenced by his famous "Pièges à mots", he gives them pride of place in Cent ans sans sang! For the hundredth title in the "L'art en écrit" collection, he plays on the homonyms of the word "cent", in a tribute to Max Ernst's La Femme 100 têtes. Using the polysemy of a single sound, Spoerri composes a pacifist commitment in a single sentence. The first edition is accompanied by a signed, one-of-a-kind original work, stamps, fabric and ink stains on paper.
