For sure Ruud. Many people would love to see this collection. Higgins is great: "Fluxus begins tomorrow."

another historic one.

@De Villo Sloan, Yes, lots of treasures in the collection. Also from founding Fluxus Members like Dick Higgins (see image above) and much more. That is why parts of the collections are exhibited already in San Francisco (1996) , Moscom (2004) and new York (last April 2010).

 

I am looking for good place for the next exhibition. Maybe in Amsterdam, but any other large city would do if they are fit to exhibit the collection of a part of it.

Nice pieces by John Bennett and Jim Leftwich in the TAM Archives - must be a treasure trove of work by so many different artists.

The only sheets in the archive are the ones sent out by me and handnumbered.

sample of a returned sheet

Special sheets are sent into the network. I collect what comes back.

I also print stamps on a lot of what I send out.

So; both ways.

I appreciate the link - somehow I missed it until now. The Fluxus stamps collections are a world unto themselves.

60,000+ sheets have been sent out since 1983. So actually one of the longest run mail-art projects. Not that active in the last years though, but sheets are still being passed out on a regular basis.
