In 1976, a first retrospective exhibition dedicated to Hains’ work was organized by Daniel Abadie at the National Center of Art and Culture (C.N.A.C.) on Berryer Street in Paris. Raymond Hains named the show, which was the last one to be displayed at the CNAC, “La Chasse au C.N.A.C.” (“Hunt at the C.N.A.C”). Daniel Spoerri organized a dinner entitled “La faim au C.N.A.C.” (Hunger at the C.N.A.C.”) for the occasion. That same year, Hain presented “L’Art à Vinci” at the Lara Vincy Gallery, exhibiting a poster portraying Mona Lisa made by students together with his first photo-reports.
