About the documents
After 10 years of exhibiting at the Salon de Mai, BERTINI uses this flyer to voice his dissatisfaction with the aging of this event and the quality of his exhibition space...
While disrupting the event, the flyer simultaneously promotes the canvas he is exhibiting, which reveals his anatomy along with his dog (also hairless).
The photograph is reproduced on page 12 of the catalogue for the CNAP retrospective exhibition in 1984.
