Scope and Contents

This catalogue depicts the found stamp prints from the rubber (tires, o-rings, etc.) found within a 100 feet area around the Stamp Art Gallery from 1993-1995. The cover photograph of Gaglione was taken by Ruud Jenssen. Gaglione used the name Picasso Gaglione rather than Bill Gaglione for this publication.Stephen Ronan mentions in an introductory essay that there are three categories of rubber stamps, the manufactured, the hand carved, and the "found stamp." Object trouve or found object refers to the act of an artist declaring a pre-existing or "ready-made" object, which he/she did not create as a work of art (as in the works of Duchamp). -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
