Description:
Portfolio with 8 original color woodcut prints (each approx. 15" x 22") by Vennekamp, in his own original Pop style with Surrealist undertones, showing erotic imagery in bold, densely colored and compositionally striking formats, including stylized abstractions of genitalia, playfully seductive vignettes, the integration of numbers and letters into the layout, segmented divisions within compositions, etc. Large oblong folio. Contents loose as issued in orig. flexible boards portfolio, with graphically arresting typography on front and rear covers, flaps, etc. N.p, n.d. (Germany ca. 1968).

Description:
Collection of approximately 270 total pieces of mostly hand-drawn ink and/or pencil tattoo flash designs on tracing paper, some hand-colored as well, with some carbon transfers, compiled and most likely drawn by an artist named Patrick Ford from the Ozarks region of Missouri. Some wrinkling or folding to many pieces due to storage, some ink bleeding but all images still visible. Overall good to very good. Sizes range from only 2-3 inches in length to 8-1/2 by 11 inches, most 3 to 6 inches in length. Loose, currently housed in sheet protectors in a modern binder. N.p. (Camdenton, Missouri) n.d.

N.p. [Amsterdam]: Willy Scholte [Stempelplaats], 1970s-1980s. Various sizes, most cards approximately 10.5 x 15.5 cm. Loose, some cards with original mailing envelopes. Excellent condition. Willy (Wilhemina) Scholte was one of very few women working at the Stempelplaats workshop in the late 1970s and early 1980s, close to the heart of Dutch Mail Art activity. She became involved in the avant-garde mail art happening there, and was inspired by artists like Ulises Carrion and Aart van Barneveld. These cards are beautiful examples of the work she created while at the workshop. Many of the cards are signed by Willy, and some are titled with individual or series names such as "Sun's Suicide", "bellelibelle", "Arboretum", "The Last Bird", and "Kerk-gangsters". Many are also stamped or printed Stempelplaats. Included are six original mailing envelopes addressed to Bart Boumans in Amsterdam, each bearing a large round rubber stamp which reads "My Miles = Mail = Art - Willy Scholte". A collection of…
