Untitled
1970
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1970 by Alighiero Boetti, depicting Letter, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This work shows nineteen small and large envelopes with colorful stamps and postmarks. They're pinned to a sheet of paper like a strange address book. Each stamp and postmark is real, sent from places Boetti visited or just imagined. This is art as mail. He made it in 1969-70, long before email. The stamps show different countries, like a travel diary without travel. Want to see more? Try Alighiero Boetti.
