Description
Throughout his adventurous life, Raloh Rumney was in constant flight from the wreckage of postwar Europe. Crossing paths every avante-garde of the past fifty years, he was one of the founding members of the Situationist International. Rumney's friends, lovers and travelling companions-Guy Debord, Pegeen Guggenheim Asger Jorn, Michele Bernstein, Bernard Kops, Yves Klein, Marcel Duchamp, Georges Bataille, William Burroughs, Felix Guattari, E. P. Thompson, Victor Brauner, and many others-are recalled in the oral history of The Consul with sharp intelligence and dry wit.
Reviews / Votes
The Consul regains that magnificent freedom that a handful of people enjoyed and shared with artists, writers and others, in a world whose password was total, unfailing rejection of the world. -- Judith Brouste * Art Press *More details
