Drug - store, 2000

 Item — Box 320: [Barcode: 31858072490851]
Identifier: CC-35045-36769
Scope and Contents

This is a complex drawing dealing with a stylized white faced, portrait of a pharmacist working at a counter next to a bed that has bottles placed on its top surface. There is no vanishing point of three dimensionality. Shelves with colored bottles are placed at the top of the drawing along with a pair of white curtains painted with a red cross. Written and printed text surround the image in a chaotic fashion. The paper was made from cardboard egg crate carton material. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

 Item
Identifier: CC-33925-35597
Scope and Contents

In the letter collaged to the front cover, Bory expresses his disappointment that the Sackner archive did not acquire his recent manuscript from Gallery Jacques Donguy. Bory writes that in the future "Europa will be an hell and i would like to save my creative work in the New World. Am I wrong?" Touched by the tone of this message, the Sackners subsequently purchased copy A and the manuscript for this book. The latter is stored in the Archive of this publication. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Eiffel Tower May 1968 / Furnival, John., 1968

 Item — Folder 38: [Barcode: 31858072459989]
Identifier: CC-13319-13620
Scope and Contents

The layout and implications of this poem are similar to Arc d'Triomphe May 1968. Here the Eiffel tower formed by calligraphic text substitutes for Arc d'Triomphe and receives ejaculate from a penis shaped with calligraphic text, newspaper headlines and a collaged Albert-Birot print (Paridis). Text of the poem is a sympathetic response to the student rebellion in France during May 1968. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
