Stanley Brouwn
Use This Brouwn
Frankfurt, Germany: Typos Verlag, 1964
21 x 10.5 cm.
Edition size unknown
A paper bag, rubber stamped with the instruction "Use this Brouwn”. Some works were stamped with blank ink and others with dark purple. Most used lower case stamps, but some (like above, top) used upper case letters.
The work was originally included in Wolf Vostell's Dé-coll/Age No.4, alongside Brouwn’s Phone Drawings (see earlier post, here).
Other artists featured in the periodical include Al Hansen, Dick Higgins, Allan Kaprow, Claes Oldenburg, Tomas Schmit, and Nam June Paik. The issue includes documentation of George Brecht’s Motor Vehicle Sundown Event and Robin Page’s Guitar Piece, both significant to the history of Fluxus and performance. Copies, particularly those which include the bag, are scarce.
Dé-coll/Age No.4 can be purchased for $789.28 US, here.
The work was also distributed by the artist separately.
