Newspaper article on the exhibition 'Initiatief d'Amis' (detail) with in the left upper corer comment on installation by Jef Lambrecht

comment reads (in dutch)

Met veel liefde keek de kunstenaar naar een kamer vol gescheurd, verfrommelde en beklodderde kranten. Waardepapieren had hij ze gedoopt. Als journalist was ik door dit oneigenlijk gebruik van het medium enigszins ontstemd, maar een meisje met blauw haar zei dat het authentiek was.

(with great love & admiration the artist looked at his room full of ripped, torn, ruffled & besmirched newspapers... Business papers he calls them - As journalist I was somewhat inscensed by the misapproriation of the medium, but a girl with blue hair said that it was authentic - and a young art historian assured me that he felt impulses from it...)
