Description

On the upper part of the paper, two A/M photos pasted. The first depicts a baby (the artist in infancy). The second is a photographic portrait of the artist at a mature age. Below the two photographs, in a rectangular border of dimensions equal to those of the photographs, a note with dates, formed with typographical numbers: “1947” and “1974”. Underneath the photos is a note attached with adhesive tape that reads: “In 1947 when I was born, Marcel Duchamps was 60 years old. So he, who was later called ‘ass’, said that Gioconda with mustaches licked asses. I In 1947 I didn’t know any of this. Now, in 1971, I know everything and woe to Art!
