Beschreibung

Many black & white illus. 199 pp. & colophon. 4to, pictorial softcover, title on spine. Hyogo, Japan: Self-published, 1982. The first volume (of three) of an important Japanese compendium of global mail art. AU known as either Artists Union or Art Unidentified was a Japanese artists organization that coordinated the earliest large-scale exhibitions of mail art in Japan. In 1976, former Gutai member Shimamoto became the head of AU. By 1982, when the first volume was published, the group had hosted a number of mail art exhibitions featuring contributions from practitioners around the world. Japan soon became a hotbed for the Eternal Network, thanks to the efforts of Shimamoto, Ryosuke Cohen, Misao Kumamoto, and many others. In fine condition. With a laid-in postcard, mailed to Carol Stetser, requesting mail art contributions for the next volume. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 10055
