This copy has a pencil dedication to Paul Robertson - "Hell-oh Paul (in Genesis' glyph writing)" and singed in full, The page is also blind-stamped.

13.5 x 9cm, 2pp b/w artist designed postcard depicting the drawing of Les femmes actuelles (which Moliner also turned into a well known oil painting). The reverse of the card has a unsigned text in Molinier's very formal handwriting: "Je m'offre a vos crelegues (? hard to read) Sympathie L'exposition Internationale du Surrealisme Paris 1959 - 1960" and is addressed to a Monsieur C. Remongin, 14 rue Henner, Paris 9.

The card was one used by Molinier to promote his Atelier Du Grenier St Pierre and contains his MDVETDCS monogram (which he often incorporated into his paintings in lieu of a signature). The reverse of the card is a little browned but this is otherwise a wonderful small item and typical<br />of the artist's obsession with the female form. The reference in the note is to Molinier's participation in the highly significant EROS exhibition - the last great international surrealist event and the first collective surrealist show where Molinier exhibited. Moliner as an old man committed suicide by hanging himself in his apartment although rather decently leaving a note on his door alerting the police to his action in order to stop his female concierge from having the terrible experience of finding his dead body.

Few primary documents from Molinier come on the market in part due to the enthusiasm of one particular French collector who gained much of Molinier's archive soon after his death and has (to his credit) kept it mostly intact. An unique item.

The Decca Dance was held to celebration of the (fictional) 1,000,011th anniversary of Art (as decided upon by Robert Filliou) and was organised by Image Bank as well as by Lowell Darling, Willoughby Sharp, Ant Farm, General Idea and the Western Front. There was an ornate stage show,: "a parody of the Academy Awards, featured a male chorus resplendent in tuxedos and Shark Fin Bathing Caps moving in stately symmetry to the inimitable crooning of androgyne Pascal. It could be said to mark the peak of the mail art movement and for many signalled the end of it."

This is one of 300 hand numbered in pencil copies and is stamped Image Bank on the back - the work is titled in pencil also. VG+ condition and rather beautiful.

750ml bottle of Syrah win in original glass bottle with artist designed label. The text uses an old slang word for a glass of wine and Jau is the local contemporary art museum - hence a glass of art. Limited editiomn but numbers are unknown. Unopened and VG+.

This is one part of 6 volumes of The Childlike Life of the Black Tarantula which were self-published and distributed by Kathy Acker prior to the later publication as a single book. In this form the novel was presented in six serialized parts, usually mailed to subscribers, friends, and potentially interested parties. This is a remarkably hard to find item and can be seen as the third publication Acker released. The text is a lesbian love story based on fantasies and stories found in V. Laduc's Therese and Isabelle a`nd Acker's own schoolgirl experiences. VG if very slight grubbiness around the wrappers.
