In recognition of the 50th anniversary of Bas Jan Ader’s fateful voyage - where a performance work led to the artist’s disappearance/death at sea - his estate have released the first in a series of planned editioned works.
Produced in collaboration with Meliksetian | Briggs, the photographic text work I’m too sad to tell you, from 1970, is a digital silver gelatin print on 350 gsm fiber-based paper, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from the estate.
I’m too sad to tell you is one of the defining images of ‘romantic conceptualism’. Released last December, the work is available for $1,975.00 USD, here.
