Extent:

Nearly 500 items (ca. 135 boxes and 33 oversize boxes)

Scope and content:

Series contains Jean Brown's collection of original art and art multiples by artists involved with the Fluxus movement and others working contemporaneously. Many of the items are small-scale and ephemeral, reflecting the Fluxus spirit of mass-produced or home-made inexpensive art. Some are one-of-a-kind pieces created especially for Brown. Artists well represented include: Joseph Beuys, George Brecht, Amelia Etlinger, Robert Filliou, Ken Friedman, Per Kirkeby, Milan Knížák, George Maciunas, Maurizio Nannucci, Jürgen O. Olbrich, Nam June Paik, Steve Random, Dieter Roth, Takako Saito, Mieko Shiomi, Ben Vautier, Wolf Vostell, and Robert Watts.

Note that other artworks (e.g. posters, prints, drawings, mail art, poetry, and scores) appear in Series I. Artists' files.
