Essential Documents : The FBI File on Jean Seberg, Part 1

description

Artist's book by Margia Kramer reproducing F.B.I. documents on the actor Jean Seberg acquired through a Freedom of Information Act request. "In response to my petition, the F.B.I. sent me its file on this American actress who lived in France and killed herself there, in September, 1979. The documents in the file, declassified under the Freedom of Information Act, demonstrate that she was a victim of F.B.I. surveillance and domestic counter-intelligence activities from 1969 to the 1970's. It is speculated that this contributed to her distress, emotional breakdown and suicide.
This book is part of 'Secret,' from the 'Freedom of Information Act Work,' by Margia Krame. Exhibitions of pother sections of 'Secret,' will take place in New York City and Durham, North Carolina, in 1980." -- from book's foreword.
