Very good.
Creasing to right. Slight edgewear. Postal stamps and marking.
Unique, odd, and funny postcard by Fluxus artist Albert M. Fine mailed to the editor (Alex Igloo) of mail art magazine Smegma for publication. Utilizes rubber-stamps and a type-writer to great effect, especially the minimal use of blue ink.

"Albert M. Fine (1932 -- 1987) was born in Boston , Massachusetts. He graduated from Revere High School in 1949. In 1958 he earned a B.A. from the Julliard School of Music, and in 1960 he received his M.A. from the Julliard in orchestral conducting. In addition to being a composer, Fine was an artist and poet, whose compositions ranged from instrumental works to incidental music to off-Broadway theatre. Although perhaps most widely known within contemporary discourse for his Fluxus works and as a leading exponent of Mail-art (in collaboration with the late Ray Johnson), Fine's cross-disciplinary activities also overlapped with the creative productions of his friends and colleagues Phillip Glass, John Cage, George Maciunas, and Allen Ginsberg."
