Fahlstrom, Oyvind
MINNESLISTA (From "Dr. Schweitzers sista uppdrag"). (Translates as "Dr. Schweitzers last mission")
Stockholm, Kerberos, 1964.
Uniformly 35 x 46 cm, 4 sheets loose in printed wrappers. An artist's game/artist's book from the politicaly committed Swedish artist who once designed a board game entitled "Kidnapping Kissinger" which was exactly what is said on the label - a game where the winners successfully kidnap Nixon's right hand man. Here each sheet is illustrated with a coloured, imaginative yet slightly surreal map with texts "PLUTTSALONG / PLUTTSNG / PLUTTSARONG / PLUTTNG" which are Swedish portmanteau words which infer uselessness and/or insignificance. The first sheet also contains the "rules of the game" which are equally obtuse whilst still fulfilling the Witgensteinian idea of a game. The whole relates to a series of 'variable paintings' (installations and works which can be recombined in different ways using magnetic pieces) regarding 'Dr. Schweitzer' - a comic, stereotyped authority figure who Fahlstrom uses to create disturbing scenarios where the worldview is unsettled by the intrusion of medical instruments and procedures: thus may be viewed as a symbolic and all powerful stand-in for reactionary government. Small scratch on back cover, otherwise a fine copy of this very scarce 60s work from the famous agit-prop artist who has been influenced at different times by US underground comics (especially Crumb), Scandinavian pornography and Nordic expressionism. Intriguing.

Lebel, Jean-Jacques.
2ieme FESTIVAL DE LA LIBRE EXPRESSION. Organised by Jean Jacques Label. Original poster/programme + three handbills and a hand out along with 3 original b/w photographs from the event.
Paris: Centre Americains des artistes, May 17 - 25, 1965.
Poster: 44 x 32cm, black on pink paper - folded with some paper loss bottom right and left. Programme notes participation of Alain Jouffroy, Robert Filliou, Emett (sic) Williams, Earle Brown and many others. Design includes a reproduced photographic image.
Programme hand out for the Earle Brown Lecture on "Composing Music by Chance" and the Filliou/Williams Extra-Sensory Misperception. 27 x 22cm, 6pp. Included in the stapled leaflet is a "souvenir sheet" which consists of a copy of the Filliou/Williams multiple "The Pink Spaghetti handshake". The artists shook hands while holding painted spaghetti onto a sheet of white paper and the resulting "print" was allowed to dry and included here. This is a rare and important example of this famous work - which takes pride of place in both poet's oeuvre and is oft mentioned in William's autobiography. Some folding and tears without any paper loss - a very good example of this rare work
3 handbills: 4to, both 1pp. Mimeotext on white paper. Programme details respectively for the Ferlinghetti contribution ("Underwear")and a Lebel happening and le Groupe Panique International (a drama). Some tears but no paper loss. previous creases where folded. The third hand out is the programme for a concert by Nam June Paik and Charlotte Moorman on 21 May 1965 where works by Paik, Chiari, Brown, Corner, Cage, La Monte Young, Dick Higgins and Ichiyanagi were performed. Interestingly the programme notes the loss of a Paik sculpture "Robot" as having "disappeared mysteriously on the way from iceland to Paris in the international air labyrinth."
Three original photographs - respectively 18 x 24cm, (image 12.5 x 18.5cm) ; 24 x 18cm (image 18.5 x 12.5 cm) and 9 x 13 cm (image 5.5 x 9.5 cm). All are b/w and press shots from "Chapman-Fotogram" Cignac, France (company stamps and hand written descriptions verso) . The images are of a performance by Alexandro Jodorowsky (2 images) where he and his naked female co-performers had his body smeared with honey and hair and where a sacrilegious ceremony was performed where a priest handed out hosts for consumption by the same participants. The third smaller photograph is a portrait of Label. All have very minor surface scratches but are otherwise very good. Images on request.
Together - a rare group of material from this historic festival. The material is also with some significance to the works of several Fluxus affiliated artists (especially the bound in copy of the "Pink Spaghetti handshake") and despite the typical wear associated with such freely distributed material a very desirable group of material.

THREE HAND DRAWN FLUXUS CARDS

Fine, Albert
UNTITLED (WRIGHT EMOS). Unique drawing on postcard. 1973
8 x 13cm, 2pp hand drawn black ink on postcard. A unique example of hand-created mail-art by the Fluxus artist and filmmaker Albert Fine. The front of the card is a typographic design in Fines ideosyncratic style where letters are embellished with additional ascenders and horizontal flourishes to the point of obscurity - in addition in FIne's unstated rules of design, words could be placed up-side down to further confuse the reader. Fine's texts CAN be read with some difficulty however as Fines lettering/ornamentation and the placing of words is consistent (a word can change direction but it remains in series with the rest of a sentence or phrase). Here the text on the front reads: "WRIGHT RONG / ART WRONG / NOT RITE/ DO NOT SEND /SEND TO TUTTLE/SMUDGE" the "Do not send" is a clear referencing of Ray Johnsons series of "Do not send to" mail art pieces. There is also a hand drawn paper clip which is continued 'a la trompe doeil' over the overside of the card. The entire work is addressed to "(Norman Viet Con) Doctor Patient 94 Chambers St. NYC 10007". Franked and mailed through the US post, this card has survived in very good condition and is a wonderful piece of personalised mail art.

Fine, Albert
UNTITLED (CAFFE ALUMETTE MAGGOT). Unique drawing on postcard. 1973
8 x 13cm, 2pp hand drawn black ink and stains on postcard. Yet another unique example of hand-created mail-art by Fine. The front of this card has been stained with coffee and the stains used (as if by a post-modern Ernst) to create a postcard equivalent of a captured tabletop by Spoerri. Franked and mailed through the US post this item was again addressed to "Tostado Obscure 94 Chambers St. NYC 10007" and is in very good condition.

225 uk pounds

Fine, Albert
UNTITLED (DINASAUR STAMP). Unique drawing on postcard. 1974
8 x 13cm, 2pp hand drawn black ink on postcard. A further unique example of hand-created mail-art from Fine. The front of this card has a typographic design with printed elements to give the impression that the card has been impressed with a rubber stamp. Given the poor quality of many mail art items sent within the network during the 60s and 70s (typically xeroxed collages) this is a timely reminder that some artists took care and effort to create miniature works of art. Franked and mailed through the US post this item was addressed to "Tostado Obscure 94 Chambers St. NYC 10007" and is in very good condition.

A RARE EARLY STANDING POEM AND BOOKWORK

Finlay, Ian Hamilton
STANDING POEM 1 (PEAR/APPEAR/DISAPPEARED)
Dunsyre: WIld Hawthorn Press, 1963 21 x 18cm, 1pp. the very first of all of Finlay's cards - this is an extreme rarity since the work is often not identified because of the mistakes in both Murray and the Druckgrafik catalogue raisonne - both have incorrect sizes for this work. The words (PEAR/PPEAR/APPEAR/SAPPEAR/ISAPPEAR/DISAPPEAR/ISAPPEAR / SAPPEAR/APPEAR/PPEAR/PEAR) run around the outside of the card - which when stood up creates a 3-D paper sculpture. This copy is believed to be one of only circa 250 produced. Very good. Rare.

Ibid Another copy but damaged thus - one large tear (5cm along a seam and then inward for 4cm), a smaller tear (3 cm) and several bumps on the card where a rough heavy object has marked the surface. Nonetheless the item could be easily repaired. This copy is printed on cream coloured card and as such is unusual since the reported print run according to Murray is on white card. Priced thus due to damage.

BROCHURE PROSPECTUS FOR FLUXUS YEARBOXES (VERSION B)
Ehihalten: Maciunas, n.d. (circa October 1962)
21 x 21cm, 8pp plus printed card covers (black on olive green card). This is the second yet still extremely scarce printing of Maciunas plans for the future 7 Fluxboxes (most of which did not come to fruition). A slightly earlier version of the prospectus was printed on orange paper but this is the very slightly later b/w copy (a difference of 4 months at most). Page 1 has the famous definition of Fluxus reproduced from a dictionary. Designed by Maciunas this was the first public manifestation of the plans for Fluxus aside from the "Fluxus Tentative Plans for Contents of the First 6 (and 7) issues" and "News-Policy-Letter No 1" which were only circulated to potential supporters and participants. On the back cover here some gloss paint remains from some past unknown activity but otherwise this is very good+ with minor browning. Amazingly the paint does not distract from the look of this important document partially because of the patterning of the cover paper chosen by Maciunas. Silverman 541. Very rare.

HAPPENING UND FLUXUS
Koln: Kolnischer Kunstverein, 1970
20 x 15cm, 44pp - stapled. Exhibition catalogue from a German show. This catalogue not only has a text in English by Kirby and another detailed German essay by Heubach (the publisher of Interfunktionen) but has on the cover an original drawing (offset) by Wolf Vostell showing the exhibition layout (with drawings of where the various exhibits - Maciunas Flux-Toilet, Kaprow's Yard, Higgins Thousand Symphonies and others including Ay-o, Judo, Jones, Corner, Friedman etc. would have stalls/spaces). One major aspect of this catalogue was a 12pp list of documents and items offered at the show for sale. This copy was originally owned by the English Beau Geste Press/David Mayor who organised Fluxshoe and was an active English Fluxist and is annotated in his hand throughout - mostly noting dates on many of the listed items and a "tick" if he bought the item or not at the show. Thus what might normally be a defect is actually a plus here since this catalogue contains extra research information about many Fluxus items. A very good copy. Rare.

A dull little card for completists only (I understand: Im one too). Fine. It is interesting how Long and Fulton have diverged as artists the former continuing to "make his mark" on the landscape while Fulton has tended to incorporate elements of performance in his walks including strong elements of behavioural restriction which mirror the later years of other gallery-based performance artists. As a result the latters work is more literal and conceptual in that the early photopieces have been replaced by text-only works the inner emotions of semi-masochistic activities being invisible to the cameras focus.

Carra, Carlo.
LA PEINTURE DES SONS, BRUITS ET ODEURS. Manifesto Futurista.
Milan: Direzione del Movimento Futurista, 1913.
Quarto single sheet folded to comprise 4pp. First French language issue of this all encompassing tract. A veritable appeal to the senses. Herein, the dynamic painter and theorist calls for: "Reds, rrrreds, the reddddddest rrrrreds that shouuuuuuut. Greens that can never be greener, greeeeeeeeeeeens, that Screeeeeeam, yellows as violent as can be, polenta yellows, saffron yellows, grass yellows Oblique lines which affect the soul of the observer like so many bolts from the blue, along with lines of depth.. Ellipsoidal curves seen like nets in movement. We have already evolved, as artists, a love of modern life in its essential dynamism - its sounds, noises and smells - thereby destroying the stupid pattern for the solemn, the bombastic, the serene, the hieratic and the mummified: everything purely intellectual, in fact. Imagination without strings; words-in-freedom, the systematic use of onomatopoiea, antigraceful music without rhythmic quadrature, and the art of noises. These have derived from the same sensibility, which has generated the painting of sounds, noises and smells". Some typical minor browning (owing to stock), else a very good example of this ultra-dimensional statement. Scarce.

FILE MAGAZINE
12 ISSUES including the scarce nr 1 and 2. issues and the artist's book "General Idea" issue plus 1 suppliment - a index of Canadian mail art (29 numbers = all) 1972 - 1983 - VOl 1 Nr 1, Vol 1, Nr 2 and Vols 3-3 to Vol 5 - 4

File was General Idea's art periodical counterpoint to the USA's LIFE magazine and the earlier numbers parodied the covers. Content is a mixture of conceptual, mail and intermedia art including the GI's own work - often with a homoerotic element. Ray Johnson was a frequent contributor here and Issue 1 has Mr Peanut on the cover. The first two numbers here are very scarce indeed but are not in good condition - the wrappers are torn apart and detached and one has doodles on the masthead but all pages are present and all the other issues are very good - over all a worthwhile and scarce part run of this influntial artist publication. Notable is the General Idea number which has a content entirely of three day-glo stylised poodles in various adventurous and flexible sexual positions.

All 12 numbers and the suppliment for 750 uk pounds

(A.A. Bronson)
Harrison, A.S.A.
TWENTY TWO WOMEN TALK FRANKLY ABOUT THEIR ORGASMS
Toronto: Coach House Press, 1974
31 x 23cm, 78pp plus boards and pictorial dj. An interesting book of verbatim interviews by the author asking women about their intimate sexual moments. Typical of the self-awareness books that came out in the 1970s as a result of the feminist movement and a growing realisation of the marginalisation of openly expressed sexual feelings in many womens lives; the design and a short dust jacket note are by A.A. Bronson of General Idea. A book with serious and useful intent it is not without fascinating anecdote - even if it requires one to admit the pleasure is mostly voyeuristic: "I think one day I did about ninety-seven. Then I got hungry. And I went out for fish and chips with coleslaw. I had a mad craving for fish and chips and coleslaw." Bronson's design is mostly functional but also clear and neat. Slight bumping to extremes and mildly bowed but overall very good.

The image is that of the well known General Idea 'aryan' boy with milk moustache - the image is the same as the front cover of FILE magazine FALL 1979 (#29m in the catalogue raisonne) since it is not only reversed from the editioned print but the hand position is different but matches the one on the FILE cover. One tiny surface surface scratch but otherwise very good condition. After discussion with AA Bronson it is still not clear as to the provenance - it may possibly be a GI issued print but more likely a promotional item used during a gallery show. Offered thus.

Once Around The Sun
4to, unpaginated. Uniformly 2 volumes in slip case, 2nd ed/100, Aachen Mnchen: Ottenhausen Verlag, 1982
Gudmundsson's work is conceptual and minimalist and very reminiscent of Stanley Brouwn or Roman Opalka in that his interest is in the way humans represent the world and universe around them. This artist's book involves the printing exactly the distance and the time taken for the earth to go around the sun by the use of lines and dots which represent the physical space and time. The exactitude of the system is impressive and the books contain no text at all. This is the second edition of only 100 books and follows a minuscule, extremely rare first edition printed by the Silver Press in both Reykjavik and Amsterdam in 1975-76. Scarce. Fine condition.

Marketplatz, Germany: S-PRESS, 1971 15x 15cm, printed slip case content of card covers and a single standard audio-cassette in original plastic bag and colophon sheet. Raoul Hausmann was one of the founding members of Dada Berlin together with Richard Hulsenbeck and Frantz Jung. He founded and ran with Joannes Baader and Hulsenbeck, "Der Dada," the best known publication of the Berlin dadaists. His work in creating photo-montages influenced John Heartfield and Georges Grosz amongst others. After creating many "phonetic poems" during this early Dada period he returned to the genre late in life and published many sound poems - something which unsurprisingly led him to the Lettristes. Here are two recordings of the poet (dealing with Dada and the Letterists, recorded respectively in 1951 and 1962) issued soon after his death as part of a series of such publications from the publisher Einhorn. This copy is dedicated and signed by Einhorn on the internal covers. Edition not known although a reel-to-reel version was also published. Fine, increasingly scarce.

FIVE ORIGINAL PAINTINGS BY JANE GRAVEROL

Graverol become the pre-eminent female artist of Belgian Surrealism after she met the Surrealist group (primarily Magritte, Scutenaire, Goemans, Colinet and later Mariens and Nouge) in 1949. Soon she was an important and central part of the group's breakaway from mainstream (ie as defined by Breton) movement explicitly repudiating Breton's increasing mysticism and remaining decidedly revolutionary. After founding the Temps Meles group with Andre Balvier, Graverol helped organise an important conference with Marien on the surrealist revolutionary icon Majakovskij which directly led to the founding of Les Levres nues the publishing house which for many years was the main propaganda vehicle for the group. After 1954, she became the Director of the venture while maintaining her own her own art activities throughout. Slowly her work became better known and Graverol experimented with many different media eventually producing works in oils, pastels and gouache and sometimes other mixed media - works which have increased in their fame as the role of female surrealists became better understood and noticed. Nonetheless, there is an unavoidable, understandable and distinct influence of Magritte within some of her works - yet his fame and popularity has unfairly overshadowed her (and other Belgian surrealists) work for many years. She died in 1984. We offer here five paintings all from the collection of R. Ortmans Graverols daughter.

Graverol, Jane
UNTITLED (BLEEDING WOMAN) Unique work. Early 1970s.
65 x 50cm, pastel on paper. Unsigned. Verso written in pencil on the back "Pastel de Jane Gaverol authentique par sa fille R. Ortmans." And signed by Ortmans beneath. The surrealist image is of a bleeding (two limited cuts on legs and body) reclining woman who has a cloth-covered head - the figure posed in an industrial landscape. Fine estate extremely attractive.

UNTITLED (CLOUDY WOMAN) Unique work. Early 1970s.
Paper size 64 x 34.5cm, image size 59 x 34.5cm, gouache on paper. The surrealist image is of a woman in a jungle but the silhouette is filled with clouds - a common Graverol trope still the Magritte influence is very clear here. The work is unfinished bottom left with various vegetation drawn in but remaining unpainted but this does not distract from a fine work. Verso: "Painture de Jane Gaverol authentique par sa fille R. Ortmans." And signed by Ortmans. Fine.
