Mail Art: Post als Beeldend Kommunikatiemedium (15 February-8 March 1973)

Two full-page black & white illus. 14 pp. (erratic pagination). 4to, pictorial wrappers, staple-bound. Amsterdam: Kunsthistorisch Instituut der Universiteit van Amsterdam, [1973].


A rare and early exhibition catalogue concerning mail art; we find no example in North America (as of February 2025). The introduction links the medium to Fluxus, Duchamp, and “concept art.” A second introductory essay provides an overview of mail art in the Netherlands, with a reference to Jean-Marc Poinsot’s seminal Mail Art (1971). The catalogue lists work by Bas Jan Ader, Eleanor Antin, Alighiero Boetti, Marinus Boezem, Stanley Brouwn, Jan Dibbets, Gilbert & George, Paul Goede, Daan van Golden, Peter Hutchinson, Yutaka Matsuzawa, On Kawara, Nam June Paik, Ben Vautier, Donald Evans, etc.


In excellent condition. (Inventory #: 10824)
