GÁBOR TÓTH, 1970 – 1980 [ mail art from the seventies]

Hungarian artist Gábor Tóth (1950) makes use of language that meanders between art and non-art, between humor and critical statements. His works are always tiny and ephemeral. Due to that these are not really suitable for a serious art market. Yet they deserve a serious position in the Fluxus art movement of the seventies.

Gábor Tóth’s work realized prices ranging from US$ 133 to US$ 1,211. In 2017 the record price for this artist at auction was set at US$ 1,211.- [sic].

BENGT LINDSTRÖM, Untitled I, n.d. [1980]
75 x 96 cm
aquatint etching
signed, numbered

 

 

Bengt Lindström’s work is full of monstrous personages with frightening faces. Although the artist had a heavy fauvist colour palette
in this aquatint colours clearly don’t play a role, while the scary part stayed. In spite of the lack of colour this black-and-white print is much more expressionistic than the coloured version shown below.
