About the Item
This intriguing artwork by William N. Copley, titled "Table of Contents #2," is a standout piece from the S.M.S. Portfolio No. 2 (Shit Must Stop), published in 1968 by The Letter Edged in Black Press. The work features an offset-litho printed facsimile envelope addressed to the esteemed artist Marcel Duchamp, paired with a wooden stick emblazoned with the word ‘eskimo.’ The term ‘eskimo’ references Duchamp’s own contribution to the S.M.S. series, adding conceptual depth to the artwork.
On the back of the envelope is the table of contents for the second S.M.S. portfolio, linking this piece directly to the series' historical context.
From an edition of 2000 copies, this artwork is nicely framed, enhancing its presentation and making it ready for display. Copley’s piece exemplifies the playful and provocative spirit of the S.M.S. series, reflecting both his creative vision and engagement with the DADA and FLUXUS movements.
This framed artwork is an exceptional collectible for those interested in avant-garde art and the innovative S.M.S. series. Its combination of printed and physical elements, along with its thoughtful framing, makes it a distinguished addition to any art collection.
