The story in this biographical book start as follows:
‘The story I am going to tell is a story that Jack had said several times we should make a film of. In those days I was never interested in writing down everything, but here it is.

With a girlfriend I decided to travel to New York. It was meant to not be a short holiday. We thought it was the coolest place to go to. If we could survive in New York, that would be the ultimate challenge.
I told more than Jack intended me to tell, but I did it the way he said it: “Write it down, the Six Street Gallery story and all the things that happened with you, because it sounds like a movie.’

In 2018, Lily van der Stokker was invited to create a solo exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. In such a case it is not unusual to agree that the museum will purchase a work, as an expression of gratitude or support towards the artist. It soon turned out that there was no budget to purchase a work of art by this Dutch artist.

Lily was allowed to come up with proposals for the teaser campaign. She suggested making a sticker with the text ‘Poor museum has no money’. That plan was rejected because there could be a public fuss about money spent by the museum. Van der Stokker then suggested having wrapping paper printed with the text ‘Blockbuster or avantgarde?’. That was also seen as overly critical commentary on the museum.

This sticker comes together with a piece of wrapping paper called “Blockbuster or Avant garde?” as an insert in Cut magazine about art issue #19 – November 2018. Published by Galerie van Gelder, Amsterdam, Netherlands. These items accompany an open letter to Dutch journalist Lucette Terborg by Lily that starts as follows: ‘I’m writing to you in response to your review that was published on 13/14 November in the NRC about my retrospective exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum. It was the second time I’d done something like it (the first being in ‘97)….’
