    Château Malou: bartering an object for a painting

    Press clipping, June 1975: "Château Malou: bartering an object for a painting", illustrated with a drawing (framed portrait; spectacles, bowler hat, bow tie and cigar). Newspaper title and byline do not appear on the clipping.

    A small illustrated item from June 1975: "If you give up... for lack of means, on acquiring a work of modern painting, try calling in at the Truc-Troc, which has just opened at Château Malou in Woluwe and will run for several weeks." The article sums up the principle: each artist is ready to exchange a painting, "not for cash or banknotes, but for an object the collector no longer likes and which... the artist would like". "In short, you don't buy, you barter." Address and dates: Château Malou, 45 chaussée de Stockel, Woluwe-Saint-Lambert, until 30 August.

    Château Malou: bartering an object for a painting. IF YOU ARE GIVING UP... for lack of means, on acquiring a work of modern painting, try calling in at the Truc-Troc, which has just opened at Château Malou in Woluwe and will run for several weeks. [Avant-garde painters] are presenting their works there. Each of them is ready to exchange a painting, not for cash or banknotes, but for an object the collector no longer likes and which... the artist would like. In short, you don't buy, you barter. Château Malou, 45 chaussée de Stockel, Woluwe-St-Lambert. Until 30 August.
