Mail Art Gallery
The technique involved in making Nick Bantock's original Mail Art is far from predictable. Using a variety of paper ephemera, postcards, letters, etchings, bank notes and old legal documents as a starting point; he begins a process of embellishment, tampering and historical mischief. Adding mysterious markings, stamps, cancels, petroglyphs, handlettering, drawings and rubber stampings to the already heady mix, he incites a fascinating world that never quite was--but almost might have been.

Nick Bantock's Mail Art is a relatively inexpensive way to collect his original art. Each piece is unique, initialed NB, completed with a black acid-free matt, and comes with a signed certificate of origin. Some of the Mail Art offered for sale in this gallery have been published in books such as The Museum at Purgatory and The Artful Dodger. Inquire to the WebCurator about these original artworks or a specific piece of art from Nick's many books.
