43 x 55.8cm, b/w offset lithographic poster for a Fluxus performance with a striking typographic design by George Maciunas with black text in very small type occupying a tiny square in the centre of the white sheet.  The text lists collective compositions by the "Fluxgroup" entitled 'kill paper not people'. Participants listed include A-yo, Bici and Geoff Hendricks, Milan Knizak, Paul Sharits, Mieko Shiomi, Ben Patterson, Ben Vautier, Bob Watts, Michael J. Allen, Danny Baumbach, J. S. Baumbach, John Benedict, Earnie Gehr, Fred Gratzon, Richard Howe, Dan Lauffer, Amos Nash, Haig Oundjuin, Martk Peltz, Tom de Pew, Gunthan Rooda, Michael Singer, Charles Strouchler and others.

21 x 30cm, 16pp stapled offset b/w programme for the 1980 show. The programme notes a huge number of participants exhibiting art at the New York's Passenger Ship Terminal including Eric Andersen, Ay-o, John Cage, Christo, Philip Corner, Yoko Ono, Ben Patterson, Knud Petersen, Otto Piene, Klaus Groh, Geoffrey Hendricks, Ray Johnson, Milan Knizak, Alison Knowles, Richard Kostelanetz, Takehisa Kosugi, Carolee Schneemann, Mieko Shiomi, Ben Vautier and details of a "Group Hologram Show" and a "Group Audio Show" which included David Tudor, John Giorno, Takehisa Kosugi, Yoshi Wada and others.

These are just a percentage of the huge number of artists who were involved in the Festival and one has to be impressed by Moorman's organisation of such an event. VG+.

Six separate numbers - a complete run (although Vostell did later add an exhibition catalogue and designate it as De/collage 7 despite it being somewhat different in content to these copies) of this assmblage/artist's journal that predated vTRE and other Fluxus related artist publications.

Decoll/age 5

Koln: Decoll/age (Vostell): February 1966

Happenings / Stücke / Partituren

28 x 23 x 4cm (approx) outer card portfolio. The most important of the  series with many object multiples and print editions included in the publication. This consists of 22 multiple-elements including the first ever object multiple by Joseph Beuys: "Zwei Fraulen mit lenchtendem Brot" consisting of a block of painted chocolate fixed on a strip of printed paper and tipped on scroll. Other works are by René Block, Claus Bremer, Henning Christiansen, Hans Joachim Dietrich, Ludwig Gosewitz, Dick Higgins, Bernhard Höke, Allan Kaprow, Franz Mon, Benjamin Patterson, Eckart Rahn, Gerhard Rühm, Vagelis Tsakiridis, Ben Vautier, Wolf Vostell, ZAJ Group (which is signed). The Vostell work is a sealed sheet of printed paper with yellow dust/sand inside the sealed plastic and is complete and undamaged here. VG+ overall although the portfolio card folder is a little damaged as the internal uneven sheets have put pressure on the outer card. This is a scarce item to find in good condition and the Beuys contribution is particularly prized.

Also laid into the pages is the original multiple of Diter Rot "das Blaue Geheul" a hand written card.

32 x 24.3 x 5cm, silkscreened wooden box with hinges and metal clasp content of 8 standard audiocassettes in plastic boxes and labels. A significant highly produced anthology of sound events created to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the formation of Fluxus. Works recorded here include Marcel Alocco, Eric Andersen, Giuseppe Chiari, Henning Christiansen, Albrecht d, Jean Dupuy, Robert Filliou, Ken Friedman, Al Hansen, Dick Higgins, Ray Johnson, Joe Jones, Milan Knizak, Alison Knowles, Takesisa Kosugi, Bob Lens, George Maciunas, Richard Maxwell, Gustav Metzinger, Larry Miller, Mieko Shomi, Carolee Schneemann, Paul Sharits, Wolf Vostell and Robert Watts.

The booklets are held in a velcro strap on one side of the box, the cassettes the other.

We understand this was one of  the 60 unnumbered copies given to the artists aside from the 200 numbered copies (the cassette inserts are in grey) which was then gifted by Al Hansen to the curator Caterina Gualco. Hansen has signed and dedicated the work to her on the inside of the large booklet.

This is in very good condition + with no obvious damage to contents or the box. There is only one other copy for sale online that we can find and it is much more expensive. Keen sought after.
