Additional information
In spite of the poor biro ink quality of the used pen, in graphological sense the diacritic hand movements in the signature are authentic. In a forensic sense it seems that Bruce Nauman tends to use his full name when it comes to dedication or a personal request to sign one of his catalogues or post cards. For comparison of handwriting see image below.

HANNES VAN ES, Liberty, Vanes Paint, 1987
00 x 00 x 00 cm
paint, 3 cans, label
limited edition extremely rare
published by XX, Spain
inv. HvE 000-pr
In the 1980s, Hannes van Es began creating abstract paintings. The paint was applied to the canvas with a smoothing squeegee. This had to be so pasty that the grooves remained in the paint. For this, he had found a manufacturer in Spain who produced a tough paint specifically for him. Van Es designed a wrapper for the paint cans and they were marketed under the name ‘Vanes Paint’.

The title of this series “Painted Street Collection” refers to one of Franck Bragigand’s recycling methods. He collects all kinds of objects found in the garbage on the street, which he then cleans, sands and paints. Here he only applied a method of working that he calls ‘Un plan, une couleur’ (trans. “One plane, one colour”), i.e. painting a yellow layer of paint on one side of each cassette.

RODARTE and NO AGE TODD COLE, The Thing Quarterly, Issue 24
condition mint, comes in publisher’s seal

€ 145,- plus € 24,- Track & Trace registered EU mail
inv. TTQ 000-pr
‘Issue 24 was by Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte, with contributions from experimental punk band No Age and director/photographer Todd Cole. It thematically revolved around the idea of deconstruction, a common theme in Rodarte’s design work. The record’s sound and imagery were repurposed from ‘Aanteni’ (2010), a short art and fashion film produced by Rodarte, which also featured direction by Todd Cole and an original soundtrack by No Age. The film explored similar themes of balance and chaos.
The 12” picture disc on clear vinyl featured two tracks by No Age. Side A featured the ambient 9-minute soundtrack from ‘Aanteni’ with an abstracted film still by Todd Cole. Side B featured a 13-minute live version of the track, “ruined” by looping the sound repeatedly on itself, with burnt remnants of Todd’s same film still. A highly conceptualized inner sleeve and gatefold jacket housed the issue, displaying more of Todd’s imagery.’ The Thing Quarterly, 2014
