| Summary: | "This volume collects all 11 newspapers published by the Fluxus artists' collective between January 1964 and March 1979. Although published irregularly, the newspapers promoted Fluxus events and publications--especially the group's famous multiples and Fluxkits--with advertising materials, order forms and price lists interspersed throughout. More than just a space for promotion and information, the newspapers featured artworks by more than 60 artists as well as appropriated newspaper headlines, advertisements, articles and comic strips. The Fluxus Newspaper exemplifies the group's 'do-it-yourself' attitude: an approach that is comical, collaborative, interdisciplinary and anti-commercial. The periodical is also an early example of the artist newspaper: a medium which grew out of the underground press movement and flourished in the late '60s and '70s as artists sought new mediums for distributing their work." --Amazon |

| Item Description: | "Issues of the newspapers were originally designated as cc V TRE after the earlier, one-off publication V TRE, which artist George Brecht released on occasion of the Yam Festival (1963). The use of 'cc' in these early issues indicated that the publication was a copy of Brecht's original version. After the first two releases, the editors started to play with various other titles containing 'V TRE,' producing issues titled cc Valise e ThReE, Vacuum TRapEzoid, and Vaseline sTREet, among others." -- From Primary Information website.
