Moore >who was a close associate of the Fluxus founder, publisher and designer >George Maciunas from 1964 until his death in 1978, followed Maciunas' wish >to keep Fluxus multiples in print indefinitely. These multiples were >intended as inexpensive alternatives to unique and valuable art objects, >further undermining the concept of preciousness by their quotidian nature >and lack of exclusivity. > >Most ReFlux Editions are collated from original, vintage, printed matter >obtained directly from Maciunas or his estate, and the plastic-box >containers may be vintage or were obtained from Maciunas' original source. >ReFlux works with the artists who collaborated with Maciunas to ensure >that the editions are authorized and authentic. In several cases these >surviving artists fabricate the editions themselves. > >In addition to Maciunas' own multiples, ReFlux Editions by the following >artists, originally designed and published by Maciunas, are currently >available exclusively though Printed Matter: Eric Andersen, George Brecht, >Albert Fine, Ken Friedman, Alice Hutchins, Milan Knizak, Fred Lieberman, >Larry Miller, Yoko Ono, Willem de Ridder, James Riddle, Paul Sharits, >Mieko Shiomi, Ben Vautier, and Robert Watts. > >Printed Matter is also thrilled to have become the sole distributor for >these historic editions. With prices starting at $35, these multiples >exemplify what great artists' publications can be democratic vessels that >bring a smile to any collector's face. Printed Matter is proud to be able >to offer wholesale prices to the trade on these exciting and entrancing >editions. > >For additional information about the event, sales, or ReFlux Editions >please contact David Platzker, Director, Printed Matter at (212) 925-0325. > >Printed Matter, Inc. is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization >founded in 1976 by artists and artworkers with the mission to foster the >appreciation, dissemination, and understanding of artists' books and other >artists' publications. > >Printed Matter has received support, in part, through grants from the >National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts, >the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, The Roy and Niuta Titus >Foundation, Hayday Foundation, The Kettering Family Foundation, CHS >Foundation, Charles Stuart Mott Foundation, The Cowles Charitable Trust, >Milton & Sally Avery Arts Foundation, and private foundations and >individuals worldwide. > >Printed Matter, Inc. is not affiliated with, nor a division of, any other >non-profit origination. > >For more information go to: ><http://www.printedmatter.org>http://www.printedmatter.org > >Electronic Flux Corporation / <http://www.e-flux.com/>www.e-flux.com > > >to unsubscribe click / <http://www.efluxmail.com/unsubscribe/>here
