Happy #Movember from the Ryerson & Burnham Libraries. This anti-Dali tract issued by members
Happy #Movember from the Ryerson & Burnham Libraries. This anti-Dali tract issued by members of the Surrealist movement includes a mustache made of wire and thread. The tract was published to protest the inclusion by Marcel Duchamp of work by Salvador Dali in the international surrealist exhibition of November 28, 1960-January 14, 1961 at D'Arcy Galleries, New York. The signatories include André Breton and José Pierre, who with Duchamp had organized the exhibition. Our copy is number 17 of 25 copies that include the mustache multiple. You can view this item from our Mary Reynolds Collection during reading room hours. -- source link
