Grandfather: A Pioneer Like Us (1974)

After organizing the landmark exhibitions "Live in Your Head: When Attitudes Become Form" (1969) and documenta 5 (1972), renowned curator Harald Szeemann staged "Grandfather: A Pioneer Like Us" (1974) in his apartment, a collection of various objects and inventions made or owned by his grandfather, Etienne Szeemann, a noted hairdresser. This exhibition will feature a detailed recreation of Szeemann’s exhibition with materials from the Getty Research Institute’s recently acquired Szeemann archive.
