reading: about schwitters
"The Merzbarn was constructed by Schwitters from found materials in a disused straw barn at Little Langdale in the Lake District. Although unfinished at the time of his death in February 1948, the Merzbarn survived intact until the mid-1960s, when Richard Hamilton and others arranged for its careful dismant-ling and safe storage. One large section of the main wall relief was later reinstalled at the Hatton Gallery in Newcastle. It is likely that the Merzbarn relief at the Hatton will undergo restora-tion in 1999. The Merzbarn is still considered one of the key works in the development of 20th century sculpture." littoral
