Lacking the Bruce Conner contribution ("Legal Tender"), as well as the original mailing box and the popsicle stick; else complete. All items very good, with some corner creasing and toning; toning to portfolio; Marcel Duchamp record laid in. Second of six issues of this portfolio artists' periodical published by artists William Copley (1919-1996) and Dimitri Petrov (1919-1986), which was intended as a Dadaist and democratic attack on the commodity-based value structure imposed by art galleries, and which featured contributions in a variety of formats from many of the 20th century's best known artists. This issue with contributions from Marcel Duchamp ("Cover," including a record with a seven-minute recording of a Surrealist word game, contrapetrie), Nicholas Calas ("Cynocephelus"), Marchia Herscovitz ("Ten Collages"), Alain Jacquet ("Three Color Separation"), Ray Johnson ("A 2-Year-Old Girl Choked to Death Today on an Easter Egg"), Lee Lozano ("Thesis," a small book with ribbon tie), Meret Oppenheim ("The Mirror of Genovera"), Bernard Pfriem ("A Proposed Comic Section for the New York Times"), George Reavey ("Farewell to Faust), and Clovis Trouille ("Album"). Missing the popsicle and Bruce Conner contribution, as noted above, but otherwise complete.…
