Colette, Ancorra-tu #3, Postcards from the Story of My Life, 1977

Colette, “Ancorra-tu, Living in a Space for Six Days with All My Personal Belongings,” SIGNED, photo and ink on paper, 1977.

Size: 10 x 7 inches
Photo: 5 x 7 inches

The pioneering performance and installation artist Colette sees her whole life as a work of art. This signed 1977 photo with text documents one of her most famous works, the six days she lived in a space she created at the Cologne Art Fair. The Cologne installation is similar to the much larger living environment Colette created in her downtown loft from 1972-83. When Colette moved from that space, the legendary art dealer Leo Castelli carefully dismantled the environment and re-mounted it on moveable boards in anticipation of a sale to a European museum that never materialized.
