About "SMS" portfolios: published by William Copley and Dimitri Petrov between February and December 1968. The 'SMS' portfolios (also inspired by the famous Boîte-en-valise, by Marcel Duchamp and, in general, by the irreverence of the DADA movement and in the multiples of the FLUXUS movement), represented a reaction against the elitism of the art world by sending, by regular subscription, pieces by artists that today we consider among the most relevant of the 20th century (Richard Hamilton, Roy Lichstenstein , Joseph Kosuth, Meret Oppenheim, Man Ray, John Cage, Bernar Venet, Mel Ramos, Walter de Maria, Christo Javacheff, Dieter Roth, Claes Oldenburg ..) ,. Shit Must Stop deliveries barely lasted 1 year due to the increased cost of publishing the works and their distribution. In the end, far fewer than the 2,000 planned copies were made, many stored and lost, without knowing exactly how many are available. Experts estimate between 800-1200 copies, depending on the multiple and the artist.
