Richard C (Craven / Canard) - Original Mail Art "Poem by Richard C" envelope with collage (Signed)
Richard C (Craven / Canard). Poem by Richard C. Thomasville: Self Published, 1973 (?). Envelope with collage. 4 3/16" x 9 1/16". Very good. Envelope with one torn side and neat masking tape on the other. Light soiling and edge wear. Postal markings, a stamp and hand-written addresses. Original Mail Art Envelope and collage made by Richard C and mailed to fellow mail (and Fluxus) artist Ken Friedman. Envelope has "Poem by Richard C" rubber-stamped on verso above a pasted picture of Mick and Bianca Jagger with pasted text about Mr. & Mrs. Lennon. Enclosed is a twice-folded piece of paper with a picture of Yoko Ono and John Lennon on one side. "Poem by Richard C" is rubber-stamped between them and towards bottom is a pasted caption "Rolling Stone Mick Jagger and wife, Bianca." A joke about the interchangeability of then contemporary rock stars?
