The complete collection of Fluxus' newspapers featuring work by iconic conceptual artists, writers and composers. 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. Artists include: Ay-O, Carol Bergé, Joseph Beuys, Walter De Maria, Willem de Ridder, Robert Filliou, Ken Friedman, Allan Kaprow, Alison Knowles, George Macunias, Yoko Ono, Nam June Paik, Ben Patterson, Dieter Roth, Takako Saito, Wolf Vostell.
