Guy Ernest Debord

G.-E. Debord: Mémoires. Structures portant d'Asger Jorn. Cph.: L'internationale Situationniste 1959. Illust. by Asger Jorn. In orig. sandpaper wrappers.

The artist's book Mémoires made by Asger Jorn was made in collaboration with the French artist and theorist Guy Debord. Printed in 1959, it is the second of 2 collaborative books by the two artists while they were both members of the Situationist International.

Asger Jorn originally wanted to have his work in “Mémoires” bound in barbed wire, but that solution was not possible, instead the book was wrapped in sandpaper.
