Wim Delvoye | Fifty Disasters of the 20th Century











Wim Delvoye
Fifty Disasters of the 20th Century
Antwerp, Belgium: Editions Carine Rot, 1990 - 1992
32 x 28.5 x 5.5 cm.
Edition of 25 [+ 4 AP] signed, titled, numbered and dated copies


Never one to shy away from scatalogical humour, Wim Delvoye’s Fifty Disasters of the 20th Century brings to mind Yoko Ono’s film Bottoms (whose script reads "String bottoms together in place of signatures for petition of peace”) and Andy Warhol’s Death and Disaster series. The two-ring binder houses fifty photocopies of asses - of the rowdy seated on the copier office party variety -  purportedly representing twentieth century disasters. 

The work is produced by Editions Carine Rot, the French Fashion editor’s imprint best known for their  Lawrence Weiner publications.
