Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
Nothing thrills me more than the sound of something stamped and promised falling into an empty postbox. The turn of my key at my POBs, the answer of an international call, a map of ephemeral friends. The world is so big. The world is so small.

And also, I am invested in making art one can hold read and own. Personal archives personal investments

    Hi
    is a pleasure to do your knowledge

  • CARLOS ZÜRCK CRUZ

    Antoni Tàpies (born in Barcelona, December 13, 1923) is a Spanish Catalan painter. He is one of the famous artists of European abstract expressionism. After studying law for 3 years, he devoted himself from 1943 onwards only to his painting. He is perhaps the best-known Catalan artist to emerge in the period since the Second World War.

    In 1950 he held his first solo exhibition, at Galeries Laietanes, Barcelona. In the early 50s he lived in Paris, to where he has often returned. Both in Europe and beyond, the highly influential French critic and curator Michel Tapié (no relation, despite the similar name) enthusiastically promoted the work of Antoni Tàpies.

    In 1948, Tàpies helped co-found the first Post-War Movement in Spain known as Dau-al-Set which was connected to the Surrealist and Dadaist Movements. The main leader and founder of Dau-al-Set was the poet Joan Brossa. The movement also had a publication of the same name, Dau-al-Set. Tàpies started as a surrealist painter, his early works were influenced by Paul Klee and Joan Miró; but soon become an abstract expressionist, working in a style known as "Arte Povera", in which non artistic materials are incorporated into the paintings. In 1953 he began working in mixed media; this is considered his most original contribution to art. One of the first to create serious art in this way, he added clay and marble dust to his paint and used waste paper, string, and rags (Grey and Green Painting, Tate Gallery, London, 1957).
    His international reputation was well established by the end of the 50s. From the late 50's to early 60's, Tàpies worked with Enrique Tábara, Antonio Saura, Manolo Millares and many other Spanish Informalist artists. From about 1970 (influenced by Pop art) he began incorporating more substantial objects into his paintings, such as parts of furniture. Tàpies's ideas have had worldwide influence on art, especially in the realms paintings, sculpture, etchings and lithography. Examples of his work are found in numerous major international collections.

  • jane boston

    hey erin! my boss (of all people, i know) emailed you the other day. i was reading it at work awhile ago and she picked it up. she really liked it a lot!
  • Valentine Mark Herman

    Bonjour Erin! Many thanks for the nice little card (365: 38/365) which, contrary to what you say, does exist, and is stored in ly Mail Art Collection.

    I'll send tou something back next week.

    Bestest, Val (formerly of Darlington, Co Durham, England, not Darlington County that Bruce the Boss once sang about)

  • Valentine Mark Herman

    Dear Erin, Many thanks for your latest little card of red and yellow 'things' hanging on a line. Sadly, one red and two yellow things seem to have come off in the post, but what's left is very nice: merci beaucoup!

    The earthquake in NZ seems to be awful, and your country must be going through some very difficult times to recover from it. I'm glad that you don't live in the Canterbury area.

    I'll be mailing you something next week.

    Thanks again and all good wishes, Val

    PS is that is your arm in photo 1/3, what does the tattoo/writing say? If it's not your left arm, whose is it??

  • Valentine Mark Herman

    Hello Erin, Earlier this week  I sent you and another Friend  a collage entitled 'Tribal Tatto Night'. One of the collages has been returned to me because the address label fell off. I don't know which of you is going to be the unlucky one. If you DON'T get the Tribal piece within, say, a week, please let me know and I will re-address, re-stamp and re-post it to you.

    Thanks! Val

  • Valentine Mark Herman

    Thanks Erin! Hope the move went well and that both your arms -- and the rest of you, too -- are OK. Some projects that i'm involved in that might interest you are i) in the Postal History boutique, the discussion just launched on '5', ii) the Music Group and the discussion on 'what shall we do next?' Any suggestions would be most welcome, and iii) any Mail Art greatfully received here...as always.

    Best wishes, Val
