About the book
Guillotine died guillotined is a literary extension of Greco’s creative project. This detective story Vivo-Dito, which points to life, was found in the same notebooks in which Greco tirelessly drew and took notes. A manuscript that transgresses the narrative conventions placed between the autobiographical, the fictional, the hallucinated testimony and the document. With the proposal to build the story of an assassination and drawing on the political and cultural events of the world, particularly the Francoist Madrid in which he lived during the 60s and the shocking assassination of John F. Kennedy, Greco achieves a detective text of literary character in which you can also see the traces of his life and the anticipation of his death.
About Alberto Greco (1931 – 1965)
Argentine plastic artist, his work is key to understanding the development of contemporary art in Argentina, Brazil and Spain. Since adolescence, he has been interested in acting, poetry, and has attended different art workshops, including Cecilia Marcovich’s and Tomás Maldonado’s. In 1954 he obtained a scholarship from the French government, and traveled to Paris. His plastic work is part of the informalist movement, along with artists such as Luis Wells and Luis Felipe Noé. In 1962 he travels again to Paris where he begins to carry out his first Vivo-Dito works, pointing out and signing people, objects and places. In 1963 he settled in Madrid where he would form part of his cultural community, making friends with Carlos Saura and Manuel Millares. Charismatic and disruptive, Greco’s work is charged with vital politics and a human search. Greco took his own life in Barcelona, in 1965, leaving behind his last work, the novel “Besos brujos”. He was just 34.
