This gold coloured envelope with screen print on vinyl cloth depicts a characteristic dark red Daisy pattern that Daan van Golden often uses in his paintings and photographs. There is no sign of origin.
A white outer envelope entitled “Souvenir” contains a screen print in a golden coloured smaller envelope. At the back side a ‘D’ in print refers to the first name of the artist. The envelope’s colour in gold alludes with the surname of Daan van Golden. It is known that instead of a name plate next to his door bell a plate painted in gold was mounted, referring to his surname.
The grey line frame on the white envelope shows that this item was a thank object presented to family and friends for their compassion, condolences and sympathy after Daan van Golden deceased in 2017. Both envelopes lack any form of origin of publication.

This circle within a circle was etched on a square copper plate. Its blind imprint is barely noticeable since there are no scratches in the non-engraved parts that is so characteristic for common etchings.
The edition was offered to members of the Centre Genevois de Gravure Contemporaine Association in 1995.

This basically monochrome card has the appearance of a reproduction of a Minimalistic work from the sixties or seventies, for the largest part made by male artists. Here, Sylvie Fleury used a lipstick colour for her monochrome card to which she added a lipstick kiss imprint.

“In the United States, which Van Warmerdam first visited in 1989, the telephone buttons can be used for both numbers and letters. This led her to replace the meaningless letters with the words ‘Hear, there, every, where’, as though these words can be seen or heard while dialing. The postcard was produced by the artist herself; the four short words are silk-screen printed onto the card.”
From text by Kees van Gelder in catalogue ‘Close by in the distance’ (2011), p. 35.

From one of her performances “Clean The House!” a photo was taken and used for this print on behalf of campaign and group exhibition “I AM YOU” against xenophobia and violence.
In 1997 Marina Abramovic showed “Balkan Baroque” in the MoMA, in New York, for which she made a performance setting including a huge heap of cow bones, soap, brush, dress stained with blood and 3-channel video. Marina Abramovic said about this performance-installation:
‘When the war started in Bosnia, it was so difficult time for me. I was not there. I was living since long time outside of the country. And I remember so many artists immediately react and make the work and protests on the horrors of that war. And I remember that I could not do anything. It was too close to me.’
‘The whole idea that by washing bones and trying to scrub the blood, is impossible. You can’t wash the blood from your hands as you can’t wash the shame from the war. But also, it was important to transcend it, that can be used, this image, for any war, anywhere in the world. So, to become from personal there can be universal.’
The publisher of this screen print is unknown. A signed and numbered copy is in the collection of SMAK, Antwerp in Belgium.
