J. H. Kocman – Artist's Book: Vítězslav Štajnochr, Setkání s alkoholem [Encounter with Alcohol]

An artist's book made by Czech conceptual artist J. H. Kocman, using Vítězslav Štajnochr's text “Setkání s alkoholem,” originally published in Umění a řemesla, 1970, nos. 3–4, pp. 57–58, as stated on the final leaf. The text concerns alcohol, taste, smell, sensory perception, and the physiological experience of drinking. Kocman's production transforms the published text into a small, independently produced typed and mimeographed work, characteristic of the alternative forms of textual and book production associated with Czech conceptual art of the period. Signed by Kocman in pencil. Very good condition.
