Further Information:

A rare limited edition of the portable collection of post-war and contemporary art La Lune en Rodage III. This is an unnumbered copy of 230 editions (65 hors commerce were unnumbered) and part of the third serie of the La Lune en Rodage books. La Lune en Rodage was published in three volumes in 1960, 1965 and 1977 containing a total of approximately 180 art pieces which provide an account of the artistic avant-garde scene between the 1950s and 1970s. The art works were gathered by Carl Laslzo and included the greatest artists of the time who contributed with important pieces, often marking a turning point in their production and carriers: Enrico Castellani’s work for example is his first documented graphic work and Piero Manzoni's multiple Achrome is the only one produced by the artist.

Bazon Brock is a German art theorist, critic, and artist, born in 1936 in Sopot, Poland. He studied German literature, philosophy, and art history at the University of Hamburg and later earned his Ph.D. in aesthetics from the University of Cologne.
Brock is known for his provocative and unconventional approach to art theory and criticism. He has written extensively on various art movements, including Fluxus, Happenings, and Conceptual Art. His work often challenges traditional notions of art and its relationship to society, politics, and culture.
In addition to his theoretical work, Brock has also been involved in various artistic projects, including collaborations with artists such as Joseph Beuys and Allan Kaprow. He has also taught at several universities, including the Düsseldorf Academy of Fine Arts, where he was a professor of aesthetics from 1970 to 2001.
Throughout his career, Brock has been recognized for his contributions to the field of art theory and criticism. He has received several awards, including the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale in 1997. Despite his influential work, Brock remains a somewhat enigmatic figure, and his ideas continue to be debated and discussed by art historians, critics, and artists today.
