George Brecht (American): *Stamp out Stamping*, from the por - Lot 35
George Brecht (American): *Stamp out Stamping*, from the portfolio *Hommage à Arthur Köpcke*, 1979. Original stamp mounted on cardboard. (signed) Signed and numbered 93/100 by the artist (edition of 100 copies + XXX artist’s proofs). Dimensions: Sheet: 42 × 29.7 cm (16 1/2 × 11 11/16 in.) Condition: Very good condition, unframed. Print taken from the portfolio *Hommage à Arthur Köpcke*, published in 1979 by Den Danske Radeerforening af 1853, Copenhagen, in memory of Fluxus pioneer Arthur “Addi” Köpcke (1928–1977); exemplars are held at the Harvard Art Museums, the mumok in Vienna, and the Broad in Los Angeles. Brecht, the inventor of the “event score” and a central figure in American Fluxus, presents here a witty conceptual object characteristic of his work—an actual stamp mounted on cardboard, instructing the viewer to “do away with stamps.”
