Polish Files in the Lomholt Archive of Mail Art
Polish Files in the Lomholt Archive of Mail Art

Summary/Abstract: This text is devoted to the archives of mail art complied by the artists and the participants of the mail art network. Mail art was one the most representative artistic phenomena of the 1970s along with feminist art, performance, video art and land art. Today, all those phenomena find their place in the official art world except for mail art, which still remains outside the official institutions of the art world, in private collections. In recent years, most of those collections have been systematized and presented to the public. We should therefore attempt to establish the artistic significance and value of those private archives. This text seeks to contribute to this project, describing in details the Polish section of the archive compiled by the Danish artist Niels Lomholt.
