Thanks to Ifé Niklaus for the Mail Art

Mail Art from Switzerland. Thanks to Ifé Niklaus!
Ifé wrote her little letter on a piece of paper, the back side of which is decorated with a collage of stamps in random order. On the envelope is a print and... an image of Solzhenitsyn wearing "Helvetian" glasses. A small scrap of text with a Bulgarian postage stamp becomes the object of art. This enigmatic scrap is laminated by Ifé, emphasising the security and detachment of the piece.

Comment by Ilya Semenenko-Basin on August 19, 2021 at 8:03pm: That's interesting! Thank you, Bradford.

Comment by Bradford on August 19, 2021 at 12:32am: Several of the stamps are not postage stamps, but revenues/tax paids. The overprints always make for a fancier impression.

Solzhenitsyn is one of my favorite authors.
