"A shop that I pass regularly on the way to the studio had a small red and white plastic sign saying C LOOPSEEND. Since the shop sold yams and sweet potatoes I assumed that this was the name of the proprietor; the double vowels suggested Dutch however and I was puzzled each time I passed it.

 Item
Identifier: CC-59384-56757
Scope and Contents

Ths booklet is similar in concept to those mae by Wally Depew who also made pin holes in some of his bookets and relied on chance staining of the pages with paint and ink. The back cover is rubberstamped '126.' Wikipedia: Vaclav Boštík (November 6, 1913 - May 7, 2005) was a Czech painter, graphic artist and illustrator. In 1937 he joined the Academy in Prague and from 1942, he was a member of the Umělecka berseda (Art Forum). In 1960 he became one of the founding members of the UB 12 Group. His early work is much influenced by painters Corot and Cezanne and realism. However, by the late 1950s, he had begun painting abstract art. Later he participated in the restoration of Renaissance artistic work on the facade of Litomyšl castle.Shortly before his death, in 2004 he received an award from the Minister of Culture and in the same year Medal of Merit from the President of the Czech Republic. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
