 Item
Identifier: CC-27822-28955
Scope and Contents

In the section of exhibition catalogs, "Networking Artists and Poets: Assemblings from the Ruth and Marvin Archive of concrete and Visual Poetry" is reviewed. The exhibition, curated by Craig Saper at the University of Pennsylvania Library, focused on post-war collections that circumvented the gallery system with direct mailings, collected in folios, bound volumes, and boxes of original artists' prints, poems, texts pages, books and textual objects and were called assemblings. The designer Greg Baer was praised for his sensitivity to the materials and to the energy of the collectors themselves. Saper's text becomes an explanation for the captioned illustrations and also a rhapsody on these materials. The catalog has a checklist of the 53 items in the exhibition, "just the top of the iceberg of the thousands of items in the Sackner collection." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
