Raw Notes : Documents and Scripts of the Performances : Stars, Moveyhouse, Massage, The Typewriter, with Annotations by the Author

[Reprint]

Claes Oldenburg, Kasper König

description

Raw Notes, originally published in 1973, collects all of the material relating to his performances "Stars," "Moveyhouse," "Massage," and "The Typewriter" - which was "performed" for Esquire Magazine without an audience. Mimicking Oldenburg's own typescript, the text in the book is typed rather then set, and appears on only one side of the page. Examples of the original manuscript are reproduced in 63 script plates. These include stage plans, scores, sketches for programs, and posters. More than 200 annotations by the author expand the text. Raw Notes is indispensable as a document of the important aspects of Oldenburg's work. Reference: #116 in Axsom / Platzker "Printed Stuff : Prints, Posters, and Ephemera by Claes Oldenburg, A Catalogue Raisonné 1958 - 1996," pp. 246-247.
