ReFlux Editions was founded by Barbara Moore in the early 1980's as a
vehicle for continuing the publication of classic Fluxus multiples.
Moore who was a close associate of the Fluxus founder, publisher and
designer George Maciunas from 1964 until his death in 1978, followed
Maciunas' wish to keep Fluxus multiples in print indefinitely. These
multiples were intended as inexpensive alternatives to unique and
valuable art objects, further undermining the concept of preciousness by
their quotidian nature and lack of exclusivity.
Most ReFlux Editions are collated from original, vintage, printed matter
obtained directly from Maciunas or his estate, and the plastic-box
containers may be vintage or were obtained from Maciunas' original
source. ReFlux works with the artists who collaborated with Maciunas to
ensure that the editions are authorized and authentic. In several cases
these surviving artists fabricate the editions themselves.
In addition to Maciunas' own multiples, ReFlux Editions by the following
artists, originally designed and published by Maciunas, are currently
available exclusively though Printed Matter: Eric Andersen, George
Brecht, Albert Fine, Ken Friedman, Alice Hutchins, Milan Knizak, Fred
Lieberman, Larry Miller, Yoko Ono, Willem de Ridder, James Riddle, Paul
Sharits, Mieko Shiomi, Ben Vautier, and Robert Watts.
Printed Matter is also thrilled to have become the sole distributor for
these historic editions. With prices starting at $35, these multiples
exemplify what great artists' publications can be democratic vessels
that bring a smile to any collector's face. Printed Matter is proud to
be able to offer wholesale prices to the trade on these exciting and
entrancing editions.
