Thirty-six years ago, for his exhibition L'Oeil de l’Antiquaire at Galerie Transit, Johan Creten created an invitation in the form of a small booklet. Two thousand copies of this edition were sent out, fifty of which were hand-bound, numbered, and signed. Today, this booklet has become a sought-after collector’s item that is rarely found.
To honor and mark the final exhibition of Galerie Transit, and on the occasion of the preview of the exhibition Elan Vital on March 1, Johan Creten has once again created an invitation in the form of a small booklet. As before, 2,000 copies were distributed as invitations, and once again 50 copies have been hand-bound, numbered, and signed.
These 50 special copies, signed by the artist, are now available to the public. They can be ordered by contacting the Transit gallery (art@transit.be):
– copy 1 to 10 : 120€
– copy 11 to 30 : 150€
– copy 31 to 50 : 180€
This small art object is not only a special keepsake, but also a way to support the activities of Galerie Transit, which will soon continue as an art bureau.
We sincerely hope to welcome you to the festive opening on March 1, from 1:00 pm to 7:00 pm at Transit in Mechelen. It will be a moment to bring together friends, acquaintances, collectors, artists, museum professionals, and everyone who has followed the gallery over the years.
