Gelsenkirchen mardi

Cher monsieur,

Jean Tinguely, Burri, Manzoni de milan me parlent et m’ecrivent au sujet d’une exposition à Anvers­.
Je ne comprends pas très bien de quoi il s’agit mais je vous ecrit pour vous dire que je suis d’accord pour vous confier deux tableaux et une sculpture peut-être de moi.

Comment faut-il faire? Je suis rivé à Gelsenkirchen ou j’exécute une très grande commande pour l’Opéra en ce moment. Ca va durer encore au moins un mois. Et je ne sais pas comment vous faire parvenir mes œuvres. S.V.P. passez-moi un petit mot.

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
