More information

"USA-mördare" is the title of one of the three posters, color serigraphs that Carl Johan De Geer exhibited at Galleri Karlsson in the spring of 1967, which were seized by the police. The seizure of the three exhibited works was carried out by the police with the help of a locksmith the day after the opening. A couple of days later, the remaining editions were also confiscated.
The artist was sentenced to a total of 75 day-fines; for defaming a foreign national symbol (concerning this serigraph), as well as for defaming a Swedish national symbol and for incitement (concerning the other two).
The confiscated works were destroyed. This means that the few preserved sheets are rare.
