[herman de vries] herman de vries, manifest van de geCastreerde werkelijkheid (Manifest of the Castrated Reality) Arnhem, Self-published/ sstt, 1960. Limited edition of 20 copies. Staple bound, 25 × 16.5 cm, 14 pp. de vries re-purposed an article he published in the French scientific magazine Mammalia (a biological analysis of the distribution of small mammals in The Netherlands). He turned the original wrapper inside out and typed a new title and new publishing information on it. By retitling/resigning the ‘readymade' he seems to suggest that the scientific description of reality is only part of the truth (a castrated reality). Light toning and handling wear to covers. Extremely rare early artists’ publication. Ref: hdv 1960.081.1.
