Mail Art Gallery
Faux Mail & Dubious Documents

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, initialled 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, Urgent 2^nd Class  and The Artful Dodger. Inquire to the WebCurator about these original artworks or a specific piece of art from Nick's many books. All measurements are in inches. Mail art price -- $ 500.00 each.
