The «Restaurant Spoerri» opened on 18.06.1986 in a corner building by the Burgplatz in Düsseldorf. Inside, the walls were papered with Spoerri's correspondence, including letters from Albers, Duchamp and Hermann Hesse; even his marriage and divorce certificates were on display for all to see. The restaurant was meant to be an overall artistic happening, so guests could have their own «Fallenbild» made during their meal, and when it was not busy Mondays, you could try your hand in the kitchen yourself.
Provenance: private collection Breisgau.
