Internationale situationniste. Internationale situationniste ephemera, 1947-1975.

Title: Internationale situationniste ephemera, 1947-1975.

An artificial collection of printed manifestoes, tracts, exhibition catalogs and posters created by members of Internationale situationniste (I.S.), including Enrico Baj, Asger Jorn and Guy Debord. The founding of this politically charged artistic and literary movement can be traced through the small amount of ephemera by the Internationale lettriste and Bauhaus imaginiste groups, both precursors to I.S. A number of documents by Spur, a German faction of I.S., record the internal tensions within I.S. which would eventually disintegrate the movement. Ephemera includes "Manifeste des surrealistes-revolutionnaires en France" (1947); "Manifeste de la peinture nucleaire" (1952); "Ça commence bien! / Familiers du grand truc" (1954); "Ceramiche: incontro internazionale di Albisola"(1954); "Finis les pieds plats" (1954); "Perchè le Bauhaus e' così importante?" (1955); "Construisez vous-mêmes une petite situation sans avenir" (1955); "Ordre de boycott" (1956); "Manifestez en faveur de l'urbanisme unitaire" (1956); "Toutes ces dames au salon!" (1956); "Première exposition de psychogéographie" (1957); "Contro lo stile / contre le style / the end of style" (1957); "The naked city: illustration de l'hypothése des plaques tournantes en psychogeographique" (1957); "Nouveau théatre d'opérations dans la culture" (1958); "Nervenruh! Keine experimente!" (1958); "Adresse de l'internationale situationniste a l'assemblée générale de l'association internationale des critique d'art" (1958); "Difendete la liberta ovunque" (1958); "Au secours de van Guglielmi!" (1958); "Difendiamo la libertà" (1959); "Hands off Alexander Trocchi" (1960); "Avantgarde ist unerwünscht! (Flugblatt der situationistischen internationale)" (1961); "Flugblatt" (1961); "Nicht hinauslehnen" (1962); "Spur prozess" (1962); "Critique européenne des Corps Académiques des Universités, Collèges et Instituts de Recherche de la métropole de New York et de l'aire de Cambridge-Boston" (1962); "Vie congres de l'internationale situationniste anvers du 12 au 15 Novembre 1962"; "Déclaration sur les proces contre l'internationale situationniste en Allemagne Federale" (1962); "Geen dialoog met gluiperds / Geen dialoog met idioten" (1963); "España en el corazón" (1964); "Limelight" (1964); "Adresse aux revolutionnaires d'Algerie, et de tous les pays" (1965); "Le point d'explosion de l'idéologie en Chine" (1967); "Attention! Trois provocateurs 22 janvier 1967"; "Les bases de la banalité (1967); "Adresse à tous les travailleurs" (1968); "Gli operai d'Italia e la rivolta di Reggio Calabria" (1970).

Collection comprises comprehensive documentation of the Belgian surrealist's career as gallery director, editor, publisher, musician, poet and artist. Most significant are ca. 3500 letters (1918-1971) to and from artists, musicians, writers, dealers, and others prominent in the art world in Europe and some in the U.S. Most of the correspondence is organized chronologically, and includes letters to and from Enrico Baj, André Breton, Jacques Brunius, Jan Cockx, Paul Eluard, Robert Giron, Paul-Gustave van Hecke, Wifredo Lam, Marcel Leconte, Marcel Mariën, Paul Neuhuys, Paul Nougé, Roland Penrose, Benjamin Péret, Arthur Petronio, Herbert Read, André de Ridder, Charley Troop, Tristan Tzara, among others.

Other art business papers include art sales receipt books (1931-1936); press clippings and rare surrealist periodicals (Styx, NEON) and brochures; ca. 200 exhibition announcements (1920-1976); and journal articles by and about Mesens.
