Description
Mail art item, created by Rocola, contains two fliers for a pot luck dinner printed on white paper with numerous stamps. Included is a hand-drawn flyer advertising a 1989 Dada art event, featuring rows of cartoon rabbit-like faces with handwritten notes announcing various artists ‘have been dropped,’ along with venue details, dates, stamps, and playful annotations. Each stamp is slightly different and has a unique heading. All is enclosed in a white envelope stamped with bold pink and green graphics, including a ‘WROGGLED’ seal, an abstract splattered emblem, and diagonal text reading "You’ve fallen in love with the newest, most fashionable, and historically valid art." Mail art recipient: John M. Bennett.
