Dear Dr. Szeemann: An anonymous benefactor has promised us an endowment of several hundredweights of dynamite. As soon as we can pick up the gift, we shall drive it to your place in Bern, and we sincerely hope you will be at home [in the Kunsthalle] when we try out the artistic qualities of the powder.

From Hans-Joachim Mueller, Harald Szeemann - Exhibition Maker (Hatje Cantz, 2006) , p.14.
