Handwirtten by D. Iannone and illus. throughout by Robert Filliou. No pag. 4to. Four double leaves between illus. covers. – Hochkirchen-Köln, Diver Press Hansjürg Mayer, 1970.

First edition. One of 100 hand-numbered copies, signed by both Dorothy Iannone and Robert Fillou in felt pen. Fillou’s erotic „song without music“ is written in French four-line stanzas which all are accompanied by an English one-line summary „meaning...“ turning the erotic content of the stanzas to explicit words. In the same way, Iannone’s drawings depict the pornographic content of the song without any shame. Both Dorothy Iannone (1933-2022) and Robert Filliou (1926-1987) were part of the Fluxus movement around Dieter Roth, Emmett Williams, or Daniel Spoerri. – Small foxing points to covers. – Best.-Nr. 27310
