" For six years we collected at the Cabinet des Estampes an immense mass of invitation cards sent by galleries and museums of the whole world. We wanted to spread this tide under our eyes ; we wanted to know how, by whom, why, to whom; we examined the image and the typography, the formulae and the paper, the dullness and the creation in ten thousand faces of an artistic and commercial, graphic and social phenomenon. "
Published on the occasion of the exhibition presented by the Cabinet des estampes from 19th september to 9th november 1980.
Texts in French by Jean-Pierre KELLER, Claude RITSCHARD, Véronique BERNARD, Valérie MULLER, Danielle ZEMP, Rima HAJJAR, Christiane ROSSET-SIGET, Catherine ISELIN, Jérôme BARATELLI, Florian RODARI et Pierre CHAPPUIS.
