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

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.

In the early seventies Pieter Laurens Mol was an outspoken protagonist of Concrete Poetry. Twisted Dutch sayings like ‘De vloer met jezelf aanvegen’ [meaning: instead of walk over someone… walking over oneself] were visualized into a print or photo. Or the six letters of the word POETRY were cast in concrete and hold together by a rope.
