FLUXUS ANTHOLOGY 30TH ANNIVERSARY 1962-1992 SOUND EVENTS. 1994. UNUSUALLY SIGNED & DEDICATED IN INK BY PHILIP CORNER.

s’-hertogenbosch: Slowscan Records, 1994

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. There are also eight booklets – the first containing texts and images by all artists and a foreword by Jan van Toorn who published and edited the production which is 30 x 21cm, and unpaginated (c.120pp) and further booklets on Robert Filliou, Vostell, Joe Jones, Dick Higgins, Eric Andersen and Paul Sharits as well as a reprint of Henning Chistiansen’ Spazio Misikale con Animali from 1984. 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.
