			Documentation of the context: In 1976, a jury (Mário Cravo Junior, Carybé, Rubens Gerchman and Frederico Morais) chose 3 works by Lincoln Volpini for a space in Belo Horizonte. The day after the show's inauguration, the police confiscated a work deemed »subversive«. In a 24 x 18 cm photo, the artist had discovered the legend of »Viva a Guerrilha do Pará-73« written on a wall. The artist and jury were taken to prison and could have been sentenced for up to five years. Two years later the trial took place and the members of the jury were absolved because of their standing in the art world. The artist was sentenced to one year. © Photo: Gerhard Haupt
