Ben Vautier Ben Dieu Art Total Sa Revue

Nice, Self-published, 1963-1964. Three brown folders assembled in printed kraft paper wrapper, 31 x 22 cm, housing approx. 39 loose sheets of various colours, with original collages, stamps, texts and editions by Ben Vautier. The covers of 2 folders are decorated with collages and stamps, one features a piece of mirror pasted on (somewhat rusty). Interior sheets include various mounted elements such as a 45 rpm vinyl record, a razor blade ('Solution No.17, La Mort'), folded printed paper bag, poster, a dried plant and piece of string. Also features a loose sheet printed with a curious composition of numbers.

The magazine was meant to be produced in an edition of 300, but far fewer copies were made. All copies are unique, there appear to be variations in content between any two copies. A few collages have loose parts as the glue has dried, but this copy is in rare very good condition.
