Fahlstrom,

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Standard VHS cassette containing a 20 minute nationally broadcast (VARA) Fluxus
tv program organised by Wim T. Schippers and Willem de Ridder with performances
and features on the two artists, Spoerri, and Vostell. There is also an interview
with Henk Peeters, the founder of the Nul movement in the Netherlands, where
there is an attempt at a definition of the Zero Group's aims: 'We present reality
as we see it' and clips of Piero Manzoni, Stanley Brown and Yves Klein at work.

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.

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".

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.

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.

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.

Marketplatz, Germany: S-PRESS, 1971 15x 15cm, printed slip case content of card

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

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.

of off cuts of wallpaper papers (usually somewhat tastelessly florid). Contributions

John Welch and others. An unusual and interesting artists journal/book limited
to 200 copies of each issue. Throughout are original contributions and bound
in silkscreen and offset multiples. Issue two is particularly notable - with
an original work by Susan Hiller: Transformation which is a bound in silkscreen
wallpaper design (each within the edition is unique because of the deliberately
inaccurate way Hiller's design is trimmed and printed). In addition issue 4
has another Hiller original offset work. An entire run of this magazine is very

feminist group work and the Freud Museum appropriations. All are in fine condition.

illustrations. Complete in unique grey card covers - each of which spray painted
and hand coloured by Hiller herself - thus each within the edition is unique.
One of a limited edition of 750 copies. Hiller's oeuvre has stressed female
solidarity, shared Jungian collective unconsciousnesses and her "After the Freud
Museum" book (and series of related object multiples) soon became an essential
artist's publication. Fine estate. Scarce.

catalogue which might be regarded as having elements of an artist's book due
to the inclusion of the pages of actual wallpaper samples (a children's marketing
spin-off from the cartoon 'Transformers' which was watched mostly by young boys)
referencing some of Hiller's earliest work. The period of automatic scripts
and psychic experimenting that Hiller investigated in the early 80s are well

Two early numbers of the influential and eccentric gallerist's intriguing review.
Always noted for her presentations of the newest tendencies on the art market
in an unconventional manner, Clert's "Iris Time" serves as both documentation,
newsletter, gossip tabloid and catalogue forum for the gallery's artists. The
first number designates the artists (Pol Bury, Balthazar, Celine, Chaissac,
Fievre, Garcia, Getz, Henry, Raymondos and Vail) as "Les Cartel des Magiciens"
and carries their images and a satirical nickname for each alongside the regular
feature of a horoscope as well as gallery announcements. The second (nr 10)
specifically features Pol Bury and a text by Andre Balthazar. And, as usual,
Clerts own image on the masthead posed as a vamp. Both issues in very good
to excellent estate with past evidence of neat folding.
75 uk pounds for both issues for 45 uk pounds for a single issue.

Paris: Centre National des Arts Plastiques, 1988
26 x 18.5cm, 64pp plus covers. A wonderful exhibition catalogue for this post-Soviet
group who work in many media including film, music and theatre. An ornate painterly
style is allied to a sharp knowledge of history and art historicism and a witty,
sarcastic view of the failed soviet system. Many original works are reproduced
herein most in colour with a text in French by Brane Kovic. Very good, desirable
and scarce.

his brilliantly absurdist novel The Supermale, which concurrently tracks the
progress/regress of a cross-country bicycle race, which concludes in an orgiastic
contest of sexual endurance. During the previous year (1927), Rachilde published
the volatile Why I Am Not a Feminist. This example from the numbered issue

TWO EARLY UNTITLED OFFSET MAIL ART PAGES WITH ENVELOPE
NYC: s.p. (the artist), n.d. (1960)
Two separate 35.4 x 21.2cm offset b/w leaflets sent out by Johnson as mail art
efforts. Both have the artist's return mailing address, note the artist as "Ray
Johnson Design" and a large reproduced graphic design. The first is of a chair
and the florid typographic element shows the influence of Warhol on Johnson
- with whom the artist had recently began to correspond. The second sheet shows
outlines of various tools including keys, knives, forks, saws etc. Both are
carefully folded for mailing and the original mailing envelope is extant here
and franked New York 1960. A watermark on the envelope has touched minorly on
one of the two enclosed leaflets. These two items precede chronologically the
Book About Death which was undertaken after August 1963 but both have very great
similarities with that work in style and format. A relatively very early mail
art work by the master and a significant find.

PAGE 3 FROM THE 'A BOOK ABOUT DEATH" (8AbABY 9/10/63)
NYC: s.p. (the artist), n.d. (c. 1963)
A single 35.7 x 22.2cm page from Johnson's famous and extremely rare mail art
book which was published in 13 separate folios (according to Clive Philpot who
carried out exhaustive research into the matter and who notes, en passant, Johnson's
fascination with the number 13 ) although the pagination (deliberately and erroneously
noted by Johnson) would suggest 15. The book was mostly posted out to randomly
gathered recipient's addresses by Johnson (a very few friends also received
copies). The page offered here is one of the hardest to find - nr 3 in the sequence.
The image and text is 8AbABY with an appropriated cartoon and a drawing of watch-scissors.
The page has been folded for mailing but the postal envelope is not here available.
Some references give the total edition of the book as 500 but the vast majority
of these pages were lost. An extremely desirable and rare conceptual mail art
item. (Other pages from the Book of Death may be available from Heart Fine Art

THIRTEEN SEPARATE MAIL ART PIECES FROM 'THE PAPER SNAKE'
NYC: The Something Else Press, 1965.
Ten separate 20 x 25cm offset litho pages - all folded mechanically for mailing
out. Each page is different and NONE appear in the final printing of the book.
All pages were designed by Johnson and were the result of mail art sent by him
to Alison Knowles and Dick Higgins who alter collated the whole with Johnson's
assent and created the artist's second book. These pages are all indicated verso
as "sample pages" and were intended to be sent out by Johnson and the press
to promote the book - thus returning the printed page to the original medium
of postal art! Here we offer a set of thirteen pages all in fine condition:
given Johnson's fascination with the number 13 (see the description of the Book
of Death above) then we are tempted to speculate that this may be a complete
set of pages produced but that IS speculation. Images on request. Scarce.

for a card or other windscreen or luggage. The image is of a typical Jones fetishised
woman's leg and the plastic is designed to attach to gloass or other surface
once soaked in water. It is fair to presume that few will have survived (from
an already small edition) due to use and the fragility of the multiple. On this
copy the decal is in mint condition even after 30+ years although the folder
has a few (but not unsightly) rub marks. Thus rare in this condition.

25 x 16 cm, scarce tract where Jorn's text argues the Situationist International's
support for the incarcerated Van Guglielmi who had attacked Raphael's 'The Wedding
of the Virgin'. This actually was because of a psychotic episode but the vandal
was regarded by the IS and Jorn as a hero attacking the "false artistic ideals
of the past." Jorn's later split from the I.S. (partly because of their suspicions
of his own latter commercial success) did not stop him from funding the organisation
nor from the I.S. taking advantage of his largesse. Fine condition.

DAYS OFF: A Calendar of Happenings
NY: Museum of Modern Art, 1970
38.5 x 27.5 cm 64pp printed on newsprint and stapled like a calendar at the
top, with two holes for hanging on the wall. Each page are reproductions of
documents relating to Kaprow's happenings on the dates of the year they originally
occurred. Because the entire edition was initially rejected by MOMA (despite
it having been commissioned by that body's Junior Council) and would not allow
it to be sold via the shop, Kaprow was forced to warehouse the entire edition
for a number of years. A very good, rolled copy in original packaging. Scarce.

Despite this Kolar joined the international pressure group Charter 77 - increasing
oppression and harassment eventually meant he had to leave for Paris. Incidentally,
by 1937 Kolar had already produced the first of his collage works for which
he alter become famous but it wasn't until after the period in jail that he
came to reject traditional poetry and concentrate mostly on visual and concrete
works. Kolar returned to Prague for the last 4 years of his life and died in

feelings in critics so that they will write about your work" or a reading service
for conceptual artists: "We also stand by and turn pages for artists who wish
