Limited to 50 copies on tinted Indochinese paper, of this highly provocative "pornographic" work by the great painter and sculptor Jean Dubuffet. By combining phonetic and slang writing with obscene graffiti drawings, Dubuffet achieved a striking visual and poetic shortcut, referencing both cave paintings and the "outsider" art of the insane or prisoners, while producing a book of the highest erotic bibliophilia. Indeed, this book powerfully testifies to the need for transgression of codes that this genre implies. The work perfectly reflects Dubuffet's oeuvre, synonymous with the rejection and subversion of all recognized aesthetic values. -- Christie's
