[Fluxus]
The Fluxus Newspaper
New York City, USA: Primary Information, 2024
80 pp., 10.5 x 14”, softcover
Edition size unknown
This just-released collection of Fluxus newspapers from 1964 to 1979 is available from publisher Primary Information for a mere twenty dollars US. The current value of the originals (see below) is around six grand, and they would likely be too delicate to truly dig into. The Flash Art facsimile reprints from 1975 only go as far as 1970, and they themselves sell for over six hundred dollars now.
The Primary Information reprint continues their longstanding dedication to making important documents of 20th century art accessible and affordable.
Artists featured in the publication include: Ay-O, Joseph Beuys, George Brecht, Christo, Philip Corner, Walter De Maria, Willem de Ridder, Nye Ffarrabas [then Bici Forbes], Robert Filliou, Henry Flynt, Ken Friedman, Carolyn Krumm, Dick Higgins, Geoffrey Hendricks, Jon Hendricks, Alice Hutchins, Tatsu Izumi, Ray Johnson, Joe Jones, Allan Kaprow, Milan Knížak, Alison Knowles, Arthur Köpcke, Takehisa Kosugi, Ruth Krauss, Philip Krumm, György Ligeti, George Maciunas, Angus MacLise, Jackson Mac Low, Larry Miller, Peter Moore, Yoko Ono, Nam June Paik, Benjamin Patterson, James Riddle, Dieter Roth, Takako Saito, Mieko Shiomi, Tomas Schmit, Daniel Spoerri, Christer Strömholm, Yasunao Tone, Stan VanDerBeek, Ben Vautier, Wolf Vostell, Yoshimasa Wada, Robert Watts, Emmett Williams, La Monte Young, and Marian Zazeela (who died last week in her home in New York City, at the age of 83).
A full review/history will follow in a week or so, but order this now before it sells out (like the Primary Information periodical reprints that precede it: the Something Else Press box, Avalanche, Destroy All Monsters, Just Another Asshole, Art-Rite, etc.). This is not hyperbole - the bulk of their publications are no longer in print, so get this while you can.
