De la Poesia/Proceso a la Poesia para y/o a Realizar, Ensayo (1969)

Several black & white illus. Title-leaf, 27 pp. & two additional text leaves. Square 4to, printed folder & inner black folded sheet, loose as issued. La Plata, Argentina: Diagonal Cero, 1970.


A most compelling association copy linking two important Latin-American artists; the author Vigo (1927-97) has inscribed the recto of the title-leaf to Carrión (1941-89). This contains an illustrated historical essay on visual poetry, with depictions of work by Alvaro de Sá, Julien Blaine, Wlademir Dias-Pino, Lara Lemos, Moacy Cirne, Neide Sá, Jean-Claude Moineau, Grupo “Zaj,” Jochen Gerz, Vigo, etc. Several texts by European artists are (truncated) translated into Spanish.


A very good copy, from the library of Ulises Carrión; some faint and inoffensive staining to a few leaves and minor wear to the folder and black folded sheet. The date of Vigo’s inscription is “12/07/1978”. (Inventory #: 9934)
