The gallery, founded in 1976 at 36 rue des Archives in the Marais, developed a programme noted for its range across media. This card is a small but precise document of an emerging contemporary art context in late-1970s Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe card does very little, which is part of its interest. On the front, \"annie gramain\" is repeated in descending diagonal lines until the name stops functioning as signature and begins to operate as form. Language becomes layout. Identity is handled as a typographic unit. On the reverse, the exhibition information runs in a single justified line at the lower edge — as if the administrative fact of the show had been reduced to a footer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eName as image. Invitation as structure. Authorship as graphic repetition. More document than promotion. More proposition than souvenir.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"THE NEW RARE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53073745215826,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/5636\/1554\/files\/AnnieGramain_0001.jpg?v=1774994517","url":"https:\/\/thenewrare.com\/products\/annie-gramain-galerie-baudoin-lebon-paris-1979-exhibition-invitation","provider":"The New Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
