ink drawing of Allen Ginsberg
On Feb. 28, 1974, Shafrazi took a can of red spray paint into New York’s Museum of Modern Art and scrawled the message KILL LIES ALL in foot-high letters across Pablo Picasso’s 25-by-11 foot antiwar masterpiece Guernica. When a guard finally grabbed him, Shafrazi shouted, “Call the curator. I am an artist.” Instead, the police came to take him away.
‘I wanted to bring the art absolutely up to date, to retrieve it from art history and give it life. Maybe that’s why the Guernica action remains so difficult to deal with. I tried to trespass beyond that invisible barrier that no one is allowed to cross; I wanted to dwell within the act of the painting’s creation, get involved with the making of the work, put my hand within it and by that act encourage the individual viewer to challenge it, deal with it and thus see it in its dynamic raw state as it was being made, not as a piece of history.’
