Image Bank



Image Bank co-founder/ingénue Vincent Trasov (valise) and Guglielmo Achille Cavellini (suitcase) performing Text Costume (1977). The picture and reproductions of Cavellini's stamps beside it appear in the KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin/Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery, Vancouver's Image Bank catalogue.

Cavellini (1914-1990) was an artist/collector best known for autostoricizzazione (self-historicization). His book titles indicate what Cavellini found historically important: Abstract Art (1959), Man Painter (1960), Diary of Guglielmo Achille Cavellini (1975), Encounters/Clashes in the Jungle of Art (1977) and Life of a Genius (1989).
