Dick Higgins
Thirteen Serious Considerations
15 pp., 10 x 16.5 cm., loose leaves
West Glover, USA: Self-published, 1978
Edition size unknown
A rubber-stamped manilla envelope - which also serves as the mailer - houses fifteen postcards: twelve on yellow paper and two on white, one of which is glossy and slightly larger. The works borrows its format from Robert Filliou's Ample Food For Stupid Thought, which Higgins' Something Else Press published thirteen years prior.
The above copies were sent to American art critic Kim Levin (The Village Voice, Artnews, Flash Art, etc) and Rosanna Chiessi (1934 - 2016), an Italian publisher and gallery owner, who published Higgins’ graphic score Emmett Williams' Ear the year before, in 1977.
