Byrne wrote in an obituary for the artist, published as Bob The Builder in the New York Times in May 2008:
‘I approached Bob Rauschenberg in the mid-’80s to design a cover. I had recently seen some of his black-and-white photo collages at Leo Castelli’s gallery on West Broadway and thought they were amazing, and I wondered what he would do with an LP cover,…’
‘His package consisted of a conceptual collage piece in which the color separation layers — the cyan, magenta and yellow images that combined to make one full-color image — were, well, deconstructed. Only by rotating the LP and the separate plastic disc could one see — and then only intermittently — the three-color images included in the collage. It was a transparent explication of how the three-color process works, yet in this case, one could never see all the full-color images at the same time, as Bob had perversely scrambled the separations.’

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

editions of these items are unknown
splendid condition, slightly aged
rare as set

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].
