Though it is not a new form, over the last twenty years an increasing number of artists have turned to expressing themselves through postcards. Whether by way of installation, collage, alteration, or original production of postcards themselves, many prominent artists have employed the medium to great effect. In Artists’ Postcards, Jeremy Cooper traces the origin of artists’ fascination with postcards from the early 1900s to the present, revealing the significant number of artists who have made creative and unusual artworks in postcard form. Featuring four hundred full-sized images of postcards created by many well-known artists, Artists’ Postcards is the ultimate resource and critical guide to this popular medium. From surrealists to Fluxus and conceptual artists, this book includes an array of historical and contemporary postcards by artists such as Raoul Hausmann, David Hockney, Richard Hamilton, Susan Hiller, Joseph Beuys, Ben Vautier, Dieter Roth, Claes Oldenburg, Andy Warhol, Ray Johnson, Gordon Matta-Clark, Gavin Turk, Tacita Dean, and Martin Parr. Artists’ Postcards will be welcomed by artists, scholars, and graphic designers, as well as postcard collectors and anyone else who marvels at the often exotic concision of these miniature missives of travel.
