"‘USA murderer’ is the title of one of the three anti-war posters, colour screenprints that Carl Johan De Geer exhibited at Galleri Karlsson in the spring of 1967, which were confiscated 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. According to reports, while the artist, the gallerist, and their friends were playing football at Gärdet. A couple of days later, the remaining part of the editions was also confiscated. The artist was sentenced to a total of 75 daily fines; for insulting a foreign national symbol (regarding this screenprint), as well as for insulting a Swedish national symbol and for incitement (regarding the other two)."
