Clemente Padin.
Visual Poems.
Montevideo, Uruguay (Place not stated): Clemente Padin, 1969.
Portfolio with six unbound prints.
Edition of 100.
Very good.
Portfolio has creasing, mostly to top as well as minor toning and soiling. Prints have slight edge wear and minor toning that doesn't affect image.
Scarce portfolio of 6 titled, numbered, and signed prints produced early in Padin's career.
A Uruguayan artist, poet, and publisher, Padin edited the influential literary magazines Los Huevos del Plata and OVUM 10 which put him in contact with the international avant garde. A participant in mail art, his artistic and political endeavors landed him in jail in the late '70s and surveilled upon release til the mid '80s, deemed a threat by Uruguay's military dictatorship.
