Jaap Kroneman is one of the founders of Flat Real Art, a branch of the visual arts, which uses concrete reality to begin with. Observed reality is the basis and in the implementation of his work that is flattened. Reality is abstracted, but nevertheless always recognizable. This print has been partly painted, i.e. the nipples and trousers. The outlines have been drawn with black crayon.

During the pandemic in 2020 Dutch advertising columns were temporarily out of use for advertising. They were all around set on hold and covered with a blue colour print on paper. Wjm Kok appropriated a considerable amount of these unused so-called ‘peperbussen’ in Amsterdam by merely localising them. He took a picture of each cylindrical column, adding a title and Serial Number.
Due to weather conditions the blue posters came down partly. A colleague teared some of these parts off. When this was offered to him, he decided to cut the torn off poster parts into cards. With this less ephemeral and more concrete gesture he brought this work closer to the approach of the American appropriation artists who materialised their ideas by putting the borrowed products merely on display, although without the need for manual work.

Uncommon signature put straight into the image of the print, by which the artist’s name creates much more depth to the depicted firmament. It functions as a repoussoir.

These two loose cards come from an envelope that contains five contributions of Ben Vautier, George Brecht, Gerhard von Graevenitz and François Morellet. The envelope was part of “TOEVAL”, a ring binder produced on behalf of a symposium. A fifth contribution consists of two dices with a Mozart score. It is published as examples of chance, but may be considered as an artist’s edition since the ideas and instructions come straight from the artists. It is not known if all loose contributions by various artists (e.g. “Chance Imagery” of George Brecht) have been added to the complete edition of 2000 copies.
A copy is in the collection of the Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, The Netherlands.

‘Actually it is not a catalogue but an artist’s book, with mostly original contributions by artists. That Morellet sheet – translucent paper – is usually signed.’
