Manifesto! / Beery, Gene B.., 1978

 Item
Identifier: CC-23101-23538

Since the early 60's, Mr. Beery has been making word paintings that look and read like signs you see in shop windows. What the words offer, however, are not commodities but mischievous, self-referential messages, like John Baldessari's but goofier. ''Invent your own art kit!'' blares the exuberant text of a 1968 spoof of Conceptualism called ''Be an Artist Tomorrow.'' ''No brains, technique, skill, imagination, etc. needed. Clever system makes everyone an old master in seconds.''In ''Essences Only,'' made this year, Mr. Beery used a thin brush to write in black with apparently casual haste on a white canvas, ''My life is now too short to spend much time on formal painting art concerns.

Paul KLee / Saroyan, Aram., 1965

 Item
Identifier: CC-58786-65152
Scope and Contents

his image was printed by Brice Marden. Saroyan received a $5,000 grant from NEA to produce this print and FOUR other minimalist, concrete poems. This grant prompted William Proxmire, senator from Wisconsin, to award his Golden Fleece Award to the National Endowment for the Arts as one of the most outrageous examples of slap-your-forehead misappropriations. In his book "an/thology of pwoermds" Geof Huth writes the following: "I began to write pwoermds after becoming entranced by Saroyan's eyeye. The simple beauty of that poem haunted me, even though (and maybe because) the poem began as a typographical error of Saroyan's and it took a friend of his to point out to him its signficance (Solt, Concrete Poetry, 57)." This print was redone in 1989 as a silkscreen orint in 1989 in an edition of 150 with a priceof $1,000 on the internet. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
