The volatile period of civil unrest in France during May 1968 was punctuated by demonstrations and massive general strikes as well as the occupation of universities and factories across France. At the height of its fervor, it virtually brought the entire advanced capitalist economy of France to a dramatic halt. This artificially-created collection contains posters, protest leaflets, tracts, and photographs from these student protests in May 1968.

This folder contains Parisian May 1968 documents produced by various protest groups which the dealer asserts are related to contemporary art gallerist Iris Clert. Clert's name is not listed on these documents, but some documents make appeals to artists or pertain to art gallery directors' actions in connection with the protests. Groups named in these documents are: Comité de Coordination de la Région Parisienne and the Comité Révolutionnaire pour la Défense des Artistes.
