1976 World Surrealist Exhibition
The
World Surrealist Exhibition was held at
Gallery Black Swan in
Chicago in
1976. As the name suggests, broader in scope than previous "international" exhibitions, it featured hundreds of works almost exclusively from contemporary participants in
surrealism from many different countries.
Its catalogue, containing reproductions of selected works in the exhibition as well as a blueprint of the gallery, was entitled Marvelous Freedom/Vigilance of Desire.
