10.5 x 15cm, 1pp typographic announcement card for showings of films and works by Wolf Vostell. This documentation exhibition was organised by Bickhard Bottinelli who has over-stamped in red ink the card with the texts "Fluxus Sahara/Bottinelli 76". 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.

The collection here consists of:

26 x 22cm, 32pp double fold out pages plus card covers with folds. The first number of the series with original contributions by Arthur Köpcke, George Maciunas, Benjamin Patterson, Nam June Paik, La Monte Young, Volf Vostell and others. Slight wear to the right hand side of the folded wrappers else VG+.

Most pages are double folded.  Very scarce.

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. 

Decoll/age 6

Koln: Decoll/age (Vostell): July 1967

29 x 21.7cm, unpaginated (174pp), plus card wrappers (reproducing the front page of Le Figaro from September 6, 1954). Texts in German and English. Contributions by Higgins, Maciunas, Vostell, Gustav Metzger, Milan Knizak, Vautier, Hansen, Kaprow, Paik, Franz Mon, Daniel Spoerri, Charlotte Moorman, Jean-Jacques Lebel, and Alison Knowles. Also laid into the pages is the original multiple of Diter Rot "das Blaue Geheul" a hand written card. 

There are very few complete runs of this journal available online and this is the cheapest we know of.

30 x 25,5 x 7cm, unpaginated (appr. 250 pp). Transparent plastic covers, plexiglass spine, the all bound with metal screws. Texts throughout in both German and English by Evelyn Weiss. The all encompassing exhibition catalogue which accompanied the famous exhibition of "Art of the Sixties" from the Ludwig collection.

Printed on styrofoam and brown wrapping papers with full colour plates tipped on and with b/w portraits of the artists printed on transparent foiles, this is the scarce second edition (the first is very rare) amongst the five different editions issued during the run of the show, each of which was extended and increased in size.

The artists featured cover the entire range of pop art and include J. Albers, J. Beuys, Cy Twombly, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Rauschenberg, Jim Dine, Allen Jones, Lucia Fontana, Jasper Johns, Yves Klein, Donald Judd, Gerhard Richter, et al.

This is a tour-de-force of book art as designed by Wolf Vostell. This copy is in near fine condition and is scarce as the second edition (as noted above the first is extremely scarce and the three other editions after this one much less so). A lovely item indeed.

42 x 30cm, 2pp, catalogue/ poster to promote the range of object multiples published by Feelisch which includes works by George Brecht, Jiri Valoch, Addi Koepcke, Ken Friedman, Robert Filliou, Daniel Spoerri, Wolf Vostell, France Erhard Walther, C.

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.

Part of the image (the areas of concrete) are embossed and raised up from the rest of the work.
