George Maciunas Manuscript for Willem de Ridder, c.1963

Extensive manuscript sent by Maciunas to be published and distributed as a kind of Fluxus Yearbook by Willem de Ridder and his European Mail Order House in Amsterdam. The document contains a set of 34 numbered title pages on tracing paper, circa 29.5 x 21 cm each. Striking lay out, probably designed by Maciunas. The pages contain an artist's name and a series of black dots, in different constellations for each artist.

In addition there are 79 pages, generally 25.5 x 32 cm, with glued on paper snippets containing texts and scores (some a bit loose). Impressive material, though incomplete, and never published by de Ridder. Title pages include George Brecht, Henry Flynt, Alan Kaprow, Alison Knowles, George Maciunas, Gyorgy Ligeti, Robert Watts, Emmett Williams, La Monte Young, Benjamin Patterson, Marian Zazeela et al. Scores and text works in this document by: Dick Higgins, Joseph Byrd, Philip Corner, Larry Eigner, Richard Maxfield, Jonas Mekas, Robert Morris, Mary Caroline Richards, Larry Poons, James Waring, Jerry Bloedow and others. A complete list of title pages and event scores/texts can be send upon request.
