abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz (Alphabet Poem), 1963

 Item — Box 298: [Barcode: 31858072460870]
Identifier: CC-48358-69384
Scope and Contents This poem was included in several Fluxus boxes. There is no reference to Emmett Williams as an author of the scroll. AbeBooks: Printed scroll of 3 conjoined sheets of buff-colored laid stock, rolled as issued. 2217 x 58 mm. (ca. 87 1/4 x 2 3/8 inches). A fine copy. "A Fluxus printing of "abcedfghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz,' also called "Alphabet Poem,' was usually included in "Fluxus 1" and "Fluxkit.' This work was first published by Verlag Kalender, the publishing house of Bernd Ebeling and Hansjoachim Dietrich, Wuppertal, West Germany, ca. 1961. They also published "Kalender Rolle,' a survey of avant-garde art in 1961 and again in 1962. Printed on a long scroll, their form influenced several Fluxus publications, such as "Fluxus Preview Review'" (Jon Hendricks, in Fluxus Codex). Williams' "An Opera' was issued in the same format, and distributed in the same way. Only the alphabet poem itself appears on the scroll; there is no credit to Williams, nor any publication information. -- Source...

Archive for Stuttgart Max Planck Project / Finlay, Ian Hamilton; Costley, Ron., 1972 - 1978

 Item — Box 454: [Barcode: 31858072462173]
Identifier: CC-12667-12908
Scope and Contents In Sept 1972, Finlay enters into correspondence with Jurgen Brenner, a German architect, about a commission for an installation within a garden at the Max Planck Institute in Stuttgart. He selects Costley as the calligrapher and artist for the preparatory drawings. He writes Brenner that he wants "free-drawn letters...as opposed to rigid typographic letters. I consider it essential that poems that people are going to see every day, are verbal/visual/decorative, rather than (as it were) merely literary." In Nov-Dec 1972, Finlay sends instructions to Costley about execution of the sculpture for the installation. The poems in English & German include tile murals, Wave/Rock, Wave, Star/Steer, Sails/Waves, and, sundials, Sea/Land. He follows this up with suggestions for Latin & French versions. Finlay's 2nd list of poems include Schiff, Ark/Arc, Homage to Seurat, Cloud, Gourd (together with Nuclear Sail & Fountain/Sphinx), Set of Wild Stones, and The Colours of the Vowels....
