Tom Hopman

Ed BEREAL (1937).


"Self Portrait", 1968.

Color offset lithograph, originally folded.
S.M.S. No. 6, 1968.
Printed signature.
Size: 40.6 cm x 34.3 cm.
 
Ironic contribution of American artist to the S.M.S. portfolios conceived by William Copley & Dmitri Petrov in 1968. And one of the most difficult to obtain.

Ed Bereal is known for his assemblage work and for his participation in exhibitions and performances that addressed political issues and racial stereotypes from the 1960s onwards.

About S.M.S.: initially an edition of 2000 copies was proposed. Finally, because of the cost of the edition and the abandonment of many copies in a warehouse by the editor W. Copley, there were barely a few hundred left. Today is a milestone in the History of Contemporary Art.

The 'SMS' portfolios (inspired by the famous Boîte-en-valise, by Marcel Duchamp and, in general, by the irreverence of the DADA movement and the multiples of the FLUXUS movement), represented a reaction against the elitism of the art world by to deliver, by regular subscription, pieces by artists we consider today among the most important 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..),. The deliveries of Shit Must Stop barely lasted 1 year due to the increase in the cost of publishing the works and their distribution.
