Item description from seller

Book. 295 x 208 mm, 285 pp. Invisible bound, with black and ochre printed wraps. With a yellow printed slip laid in from the author concerning suggested cost when it was released and the distribution of the book and its Hungarian version. Translated from the original Hungarian edition ('A Halo: Alternativ muveszeti aramlatok a folyyoirat-kiadvanyaik tukreben 1968-1988') by Tibor Szendrei - both copies together make excellent mail art resource for libraries. An excellent resource, containing a comprehensive overview of various avant-garde art movements of the 1970s and 80s (among them, mail art), as manifested by the various periodicals and publications produced by them. Includes an extensive bibliography of such artists' magazines, which fall 'outside the remit of periodical literature', grouped into the following sections: 'Theoretical Works', 'Catalogues, References', 'Fluxus, Conceptual Art, Intermedia Art', 'Neodada, Collage', 'Concrete and Visual Poetry', 'The Mail Art Movement', 'Rubberstamps Art', 'Copy Art, Telecommunication Art', 'Print Art, Graphism', 'From Situationism to Neoism'. The preface to the English-language edition reads: 'The readers will notice that the book was not meant to draw a map of mail art. Instead, it introduces a series of literary and artistic manifestations, all of which were aimed at establishing informal communication among the artists'. Artists and publications discussed in Perneczky's thesis include: Vittore Baroni (Arte Postale'); Pavel Petasz ('Commonpress'); Ulises Carrion ('Ephemera'); Herman de Vries ('Integration'); Ben Vautier ('Tout); Henri Chopin ('Revue OU'); Michael Gibbs ('Kontexts'); Bob Cobbing ('And') et al. An excellent reference book for artists' periodicals of the late 1960s to late 1980s, up until the collapse of the Soviet Union. Rare. Heavy item, extra postage may be required. Condition: Near Fine.
