Berkeley, (etc. ) ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; The Argentine Graciela Gutiérrez Marx is one of the foremost Latin American exponents of mail art (a practice that involved sending small-scale art using the postal service). Born in La Plata in 1945, she graduated in 1967 with a degree in education and sculpture from the Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes, Universidad Nacional de La Plata. In the late 1960s Gutiérrez Marx exhibited her work at the Galería Lirolay in Buenos Aires and won several prizes for her rusted-metal sculptures. Through her friendship with Edgardo Antonio Vigo (19281997) , with whom she would later work, she became interested in mail art. This piece doesn't seem to compare, at least in terms of leaves cited (56) , with the closest item I can find on WorldCat: Los codices marginales de MaMaBLAnCa 1, the marginal codices of MaMaBLAnCa 1 : grupo familia, reconstruccio n del mito; family group, assembling a myth.
