EPHEMERA NRS 1 - 10
Amsterdam: Carrion, 1977 - 1978
33 x 23.5cm (varies slightly between issues but mostly are uniform), pagination varies per (nr 1 is 8pp, nr 2 is 8pp with poster insert, nr 3 and 4 are 8pp although nr 4 has a tipped on double page of silver reflective paper, nr 5 is 10pp with an additional unnecessary grommet binding which deliberately prevents the magazine being easily opened, nr 6 is 8pp with 4pp smaller stapled insert, nrs 7 and 8 are 8pp and nr 9 (a special issue edited by Nannucci) has a 4pp poster insert and nr 10 is 8pp. A particularly ornate artists' journal which has throughout original additions, collages and works as well as rubber stampings. To the best of our knowledge a complete run of all 10 issues which are primarily dedicated to mail art and its close relations (and many contributions here are either reproductions of items sent to Carrion or inserted original mail art items. Carrion's importance as a publisher of artist's books is also matched by his role as theoretician of the genre. All copies here are in very good + condition and a run such as this one are rarely encountered.

The price is for all 10 issues together
