BEECROFT, VANESSA (1969) VBLV. Vanessa Beecroft exhibition. January 12 to March 31, 2006. Espace Louis Vuitton, Paris, 2006. Small accordion folder (16 x 11.5 cm). First edition of this rare and controversial exhibition catalog. 13 photographs of nude female bodies positioned to reproduce the letters of the alphabet and write LOUIS VUITTON in letters of flesh. Accordion fold, recto-verso. Bilingual French-English text introducing the artist and the Louis Vuitton space. This exhibition catalog was quickly withdrawn from distribution, due to the controversy it provoked, the artist having plagiarized the Dutch artist Anthon Beeke's alphabet published in 1970. Extremely rare.
