CECI CELA OU RIEN (FOUR MAIL ART CARDS)

London: Nigel Greenwod Inc, 1973
Four separate 2pp, 10 x 15cm, postcards as designed by Broodthaers as a mail art project for this show in London. Each card bears the title text recto and verso "Marcel Broodthaers/This, that or.../ During Six months" and gallery details - however each of the four cards has an additional text printed on them respectively - "First Month", "Second Month", Third Month" and "Fourth Month" in different colours. The cards were sent out from the gallery (according to our source) at the beginning of each month to the client list. Additionally we understand that only 4 of the putative 6 planned cards were printed and sent out - thus this is a complete set. These cards are unmailed out copies and are thus in fine condition. A very rare almost unknown Broodthaers conceptual mail art item.

750 uk pounds for all 4 cards together.
