24 x 35 cm on canvas. When creating his "art scotch", Wolman used tape to lift ink off newspaper or magazine pages, and remixed the printed words or images extracted with the tape on a new support, here a canvas.
Includes a long letter circa 1953 explaining his reasons for leaving the Internationale lettriste, a letter from Algeria dated 1953 April 17, and an undated letter from Long Hai, Vietnam, circa the mid-1950s discussing war, Marxism, and Isidore Isou.
Original grouping of material related to Lettrism [not solely to Isou], mostly dating from the later period in the 1960s-1970s. Includes flyers for exhibitions, recitals, and publications; internal documents; tracts and declarations.
Fourteen posters, presumably printed by Wolman, for the Festival de Fort Boyard (June 1967), an imaginary avant-garde art festival conceptualized by Wolman, Henri Chopin, Antonio Berni, Gianni Bertini, Julien Blaine, and others. Contains unique printings with varying colors and details of 4 posters featuring artworks by different artists: 9 printings featuring Blaine (including one printed on L'Humanité newspaper issue, dated 1967 June 10, front only); 1 printing featuring Bertini; 1 printing featuring Milos Urbasek; 3 printings featuring an unsigned artwork.
