Enrico Baj | La cravate ne vaut pas une médaille












Enrico Baj
La cravate ne vaut pas une médaille
Genève, Switzerland: Edition Rousseau, 1972
38 x 38 cm.
Edition of 160 signed and numbered copies

The Tie is Not Worth a Medal contains 21 folders of screenprints on handmade paper, some featuring mixed media additions such as plastic, felt and collaged paper. The final folder is signed "HC baj." They are housed in a white imitation leather slipcase, onto which is mounted a Lego board.

Auction records vary, with the size being listed as 38cm., 39.5cm., 40cm., and 40.5cm., and the edition size as either being 160, or 200, which is unusual, given that the work is numbered. The work has a value of between three and four thousand dollars.
