Moving

Posts will continue to be sporadic as we prep for our cross-country move. Instagram likely to be updated more frequently (even if it pains me to say).

Follow me there, at https://www.instagram.com/dave.dyment/. I suspect almost half of the posts will eventually end up being related to books, multiples and records.

Daniel Spoerri | Spiegelobjekt

Daniel Spoerri
Spiegelobjekt (Kunstmultiplikator) (Mirror Object (Art Multiplier))
Cologne, Germany: Édition MAT / Galerie der Spiegel, 1964
50 x 100 x 8 cm.
Edition of 100 signed and numbered copies

From the series Édition MAT Collection 64, this assemblage on mirrors in a hinged wooden frame featured various affixed objects, each edition with a different configuration. The work is signed and numbered on a paper label affixed to the verso.

Spoerri can be considered one of the originators of the artists' multiple, and already here is playing with variations: the unique multiple (with each arranged differently) and the idea of using mirrors to further multiply.

The work has an approximate value of $10 000.
