Description: Joe Brainard Erotic Matchbook Collage John Giorno Signed Gay Art New York School This collage is one of Brainard’s matchbook collages, an erotic one. It consists of a matchbook from John Giono’s Poetry Systems, dated 1970, printed on its exterior with a few lines of racy poetry. The matches have been torn from the matchbook. In their place is collaged a snippet of a black and white male crotch shot with part of it clipped out. The cut in the paper reveals the pink on the inside of the matchbook, creating a flesh-colored penis against the black and white photo. The collage is signed “Brainard — 78” and it measures 2.25” x 2” when the matchbook is folded. Very Good Condition, wear commensurate with age: slight scuffing to the glossy black paper of the matchbook exterior, corners of matchbook worn, striker strip abraded from matches being struck on it -- all in all, a lovely artifact of the New York School and a charming piece of collage art.
