Identifier: CC-51007-72086
Scope and Contents This is the catalogue for a retrospective exhibition of Boshoff's work. Boshoff writes that his inspiration for concrete poetry was his passion for crossword puzzles. Boshoff writes (page 23) in an lengthy biographical interview with Warren Siebrits the following: In early 1996, I visited the book artist Robbin Silverberg taking with me a silkscreen print of a poem from KYKAFRICAANS to thank her for the hospitality and kindness she showed me. She didn't seem to like it very much, and suggested we take it to show to the artist book dealer Toni Zwicker.Toni was already quite elderly, but it was amazing to see how excited she became about this work from KYKAFRICAANs that I has made 15 years earlier. As it happened, the great American collector, Marvin Sackner, from Miami, visited Toni's home while we were there. He became so enthusiastic that he decided on the spot to buy the original manuscript of the 99 A4 typed pages that constitute KYKAFRICAANS, and invited us to go and visit him...
