Scope and Contents

Published in conjunction with Afrika's 1995 exhibition at the Osterreichisches Museum fur angewandte Kunst in Vienna. The folded sheets, placed in the bound-in envelope, contain eight rebuses each. The soft cover book is also bound into the folder. The brown paper used throughout is reminiscent of the paper in Russian Avant Garde books from 1910-1930. This book describes and depicts the copper engraved work of Afrika. It serves as an introduction to Afrika's copper book of engraved rebuses that is held by the Sackner Archive. There were 500 other copies not held by the Sackner Archive that included one copper plate. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
