A colorful crayon drawing featuring a landscape with three purple mountains in the background, a green grasshopper in the foreground on a field of green grass, and a blue sky with two white clouds and a small sun. The image includes handwritten text at the bottom that reads "Grasshopper 1945 Los Angeles" and a signature with the date "1981 NYC."
A black and white artwork featuring two abstract dotted patterns resembling fingers or organic shapes within a bordered frame, signed and numbered by the artist on a white background.
A scanned image of a New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission Vehicle Operator's License with an expiration date of December 1995. The license displays the name Jeffrey Perkins, along with a license number and a photo of a man. Handwritten notes are visible on the white border around the license, including a signature and a date marked as 11/6/99.
Hand-drawn conceptual artwork featuring a schematic representation of alarm bells and sirens connected to a central box, with handwritten text below posing a question about the inability to hear sound from the fax and an answer stating the sound is in the viewer's head. The piece is titled "A Symphony by Alarm bells & Acoustic Sirens for Fluxfax" by Yoshi Wada, dated 1994, and is numbered 11/99 with the artist's signature.
A black and white photograph depicting three individuals engaged in conversation. The image is blurry, giving it a candid and spontaneous feel. Handwritten annotations identify the individuals and provide context for the event, indicating it was taken during Ben Vautier's opening night at the Guggenheim Museum in 1972. The photo also includes a handwritten edition number and signature at the bottom.
A black and white abstract expressionist print featuring a dense, tangled array of black lines and shapes on a white background. The composition is reminiscent of a chaotic scribble or a nest-like structure. There is a signature at the bottom right corner and a numbering at the bottom left corner indicating its edition.
A black and white print featuring a central oval with a textured background, depicting a top hat on a stand with a spoon in it. Above the oval are two diagonal lines, and below are a crescent moon and a small circle. The text "Every Man His Own Painter" and the name "Geoffrey Hendricks 1984" are inscribed below the image.
A black and white illustration featuring three rows of simple, cartoonish figures with letters on their bodies. The figures are drawn with minimal detail, resembling rounded humanoids without distinct facial features. The letters on the figures appear to spell out "INFLUX FLUX FEELS" across the three rows. The image has a signature at the bottom right and is numbered 11/59 at the bottom left.
Black and white artwork with a curved white line and illegible text on a black background, signed at the bottom right.
Black and white print featuring urban signage with "Kansas" and "fax it" text, and a man pouring liquid, with artist's signature and date.
