2321653. MAILART / NIMIS. TWO LARGE POSTCARDS ON THE NATURE SCULPTURE NIMIS SEND FROM LARS VILKS TO THE CONCEPT ARTIST LEIF ERIKSSON.
Description
Mailart / Nimis. Two large colored postcards - approx. 14. 5 cm. x 21 cm. - depicting the famous nature sculpture Nimis in Kullabygden's nature reserve in northwestern Skåne, made by the concept container Lars Vilks (1946-2021). Both postcards, with 4 pictures each on Nimis, were sent and signed by Lars Vilks to another concept artist, Leif Eriksson, (1939-2019) in the mid-1980s. One postcard with the text: "This is a collection-piece. Lars Vilks."Also signed on the front under the printed" Nimis ". The second postcard: "The holiday trip became long. I went to the attraction 1072 times. Hembygdsföreningen saw nothing. Lars."Both stamped on the back with a purple circular stamp:" Nimis A. U."On the back, Nimi's story is told in print, where it is also said that it has now been sold to the West German artist Joseph Beuys.
Mailart, or postal art, is a playful, but also seriously meant genre in concept art. It started in the 1960s and is about sending art through the postal system. Source Wikipedia.".
