HAINS Raymond (1926-2005) - Lot 117
HAINS Raymond (1926-2005) Untitled (Gaulois) Torn poster Signed and dated 1968 at bottom Dim. subject : 17 x 32 cm - Dim. frame : 34 x 43 cm Framed piece Provenance : private collection Note: Is this moustache a reference to the Flagrant Dali affair? In 1954, a book entitled La vie secrète de Salvador Dali (The Secret Life of Salvador Dali) was published, featuring a photograph by Raymond Hains of a hand multiplied by a set of mirrors. Unquoted, Raymond Hains, then a young artist, humorously objected to this "Flagrant-Dali" and moustachist: "It's on my beard and certainly not on your moustache that I see this hand serving Dali's purpose: Guided by the moustache-antennas, your henchman has spotted him".
