£395.00

Paris: n.p., 1951.
48 x 59cm announcement poster for the first performance of Lemaitre's filmic masterpiece. The date is handwritten on the poster in Lemaitre's hand and signed in red pencil. Lemaitre specified: "This film must be projected under special conditions: on a screen of new shapes and material and with spectacular goings-on in the cinema lobby and theatre (disruptions, forced jostling, dialogues spoken aloud, confetti and gunshots aimed at the screen...)". The performances did not simply consist of a film but what would now be recognised as a happening long before Fluxus or Kaprow. The poster is slightly ragged around edges but otherwise very good. Very rare especially signed thus.
