Catalogue Note
rare first edition. Published shortly after the first exhibition by the newly-formed Union of Youth in St Petersburg, Sadok Sudei was intended to shock, printed on the reverse of wallpaper, in a new, modernized orthography. It brought together contributors from both the Moscow and St Petersburg avant-garde movements.
