Stanley Brouwn
Send me a map of the city where you are living
Copenhagen, Denmark: Self-published, 1970
7.1 x 10.1 cm.
Edition size unknown
A postcard soliciting maps from around the world, not dissimilar to the artist's This Way Brouwn project in which he invited passersby to sketch out quick provisional instructional maps which he then exhibited and published as 'drawings'.
According to Harry Ruhe's Stanley Brouwn: A Chronology, cards were "send by Brouwn from Copenhagen to people and institutes all over the world."
A scarce piece of ephemera by an important and underrated artist, valued at upwards of a thousand dollars, depending on condition and provenance.
