GIOVANNI ANSELMO — Musée d’Art Contemporain, Lyon, 1989

Musée d’Art Contemporain, Lyon, 1989. Single exhibition announcement sheet, 30 × 21.2 cm. Satin cardstock, printed recto and verso.

Issued for Giovanni Anselmo at the Musée d’Art Contemporain, Lyon, 12 October – 19 November 1989. The recto carries a colour installation view — two works in a white-walled space: a leaning triangular stone form and a granite block with a small bunch of leaves tucked into its surface, both cast in strong diagonal light. The verso holds the full institutional apparatus: exhibition details, an extended interview with the artist conducted by Walter Guadagnini, reference images, and a footnote on Joseph Kosuth.

Produced at the scale of a small poster rather than a standard invitation card. A printed exhibition record in which image, curatorial framing, and institutional information are carried on the same support. Anselmo’s position within Arte Povera gives the sheet added historical density without requiring it to exceed its administrative function.

Condition: Light general handling wear, soft surface marks, and minor edge wear consistent with age and material. Original period item.
