Recently acquired by the DADA International Archives! The Serbo-Croatian poet Ljubomir Micić and his Zenit movement were the chief representatives of what has come to be known as “Yugo-Dada” in the early 1920s in the newly established Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later known as Yugoslavia). His Kola za spasavanje (Ambulance) was published in 1922 in Zagreb and Belgrade. There were two editions, both seized by government authorities. The work is considered Micić’s masterpiece, utilizing radical typography and mixing the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets in what might be considered a protest against Croatian and Serbian nationalism.Because this publication ran afoul of censorship and was seized by the authorities, it is exceedingly hard to find. According to the Worldcat database, our copy at University of Iowa of Kola za spasavanje is the only one in North America. -- source link
