YAYOI KUSAMA, Pumpkin, 2019
61 x 43 cm
print on bath mat (small)
polyester fabric
published by Redbubble, Docklands, Victoria, Australia
Collection K. van Gelder, Amsterdam
In 2019 for a very short period a bath mat (both small and large) with printed pumpkin was offered for sale. The design was more than remarkable since only circa 5% of the surface was used for the image of a pumpkin; not really a commercial product, one would say. In less than two months it was taken from the website of Redbubble.
Redbubble is a global online marketplace for print-on-demand products based on user-submitted artwork. The company was founded in 2006 in Melbourne, Australia, and also maintains offices in San Francisco and Berlin in 2017.
CADY NOLAND, The Clip-on Method, 2021
each 28 x 21,5 x 2,2 cm
offset, Mylar dust covers
2 volumes, 288 pp. and 304 pp.
published by Cady Noland, Rhea Anastas and Robert Snowden, USA
inv.CNol 231-232

This book of Cady Noland has two volumes and could easily be considered as a follow up of ‘No Land’ (2018), an unauthorized collection of copied writings about Cady Noland with reproductions of magazine and catalogue clippings; a piracy publication.
However, here the content of ‘The Clip-on Method’ is obviously documented with the aim to put emphasis on more verbal critical statements about ethical aspects in recent history of the United States, such as racism, dubious goals in politics and industry, use and abuse of scientific knowledge, manipulations of power. That makes this book more than just a collection of images of works by Cady Noland, and together with the 2-3 white pages notably inserted here and there in both volumes makes this publication an artist’s book. It is used by the artist as a means to make a point, opposite to mere documenting art works.
The second volume contains a text “Notes for 1989 Show” published in Balcon no. 4 written by Cady Noland, next to photos of works.
In a book report by Jason Pickleman in Chicago Gallery News a lucid and precise analysis is made of the two volumes of ‘The Clip-on Method’. Really an enlighting loose text.

KLAUS VOM BRUCH ?, no title, ca 1981-1985
VHS cassette box, photo copy, 4 Fuji Color photo prints (each 8.8 x 12.6 cm)
splendid condition
unknown publisher
condition: splendid, although one photo has two weak corner folds
For this item an artist’s name is not at hand. It is attributed to Klaus vom Bruch but it cannot be approved. At some point in the eighties I got hold on this VHS cassette including four vintage photo prints. I have a vague remembrance that I got it from Vereniging van Videokunstenaars founded in Amsterdam in 1982. Somewhere I have the idea that this cassette was a kind of promotion material of a video film to be launched soon. Hence a lacking VHS video tape. KvG
