Ben VAUTIER (né en 1935)

L'Art est inutile - Pas d'art - À bas l'art Extremely rare 1963 street poster on fine paper Signed by Ben, Marcel Alocco, Martial Raysse, Spoerri, Arman and Serge III Oldenbourg 65 x 50 cm This copy has been the subject of jokes between artists Marcel Alocco signed "Ben" in red ink to annoy Ben. Ben then went back over it in green ink to write "Faux Ben, I'll make you a real one" and then really signed it. Then Martial Raysse signed, claiming to have done such works as early as 1958 and dated it 1958. Serge III Oldenbourg intervened claiming that he is an artist of the future: he signed and dated 1972. Finally Arman signed and Spoerri made a mystery signature by numbering the letters composing his name: S(1) P(2) O(3) E(4) R(5) R(6) I(7). Condition report: this poster has been used and the corners are torn. One grease stain.
