| Series VII. Printed matter, ca. 1925-1976
4 Linear Feet
|
| Series contains printed catalogues, brochures, other exhibition ephemera and clippings relating to Mesens's art and exhibits
of his work (ca. 1955-1976), and the art and exhibitions of other artists in whom Mesens was interested (ca. 1925-1972, undated).
Also included are fragile issues of art journals, among them several issues of NEON and a copy of the rare Czech surrealist journal, Styx - bulletin skupiny Lacoste (issue 1/66). One box contains five pieces of printed and original art work, another contains 13 zinc or copper plates for
reproductions of work by various artists, including Mesens, perhaps used to create exhibition announcements.
