Condition: Very Good. György Galántai and Júlia Klaniczay eds., AL: Artpool letter = Aktuális levél No.1-11 (Complete Set), György Galántai, Budapest, Hungary, 1983 -1985. A complete set of this historic samizdat art magazine, published from 1983 to 1985 by Galántai/Artpool. Texts mainly in Hungarian with some English summaries. Design, layout, and production by György Galántai. Contributors include: György Galántai and Júlia Klaniczay (Eds.), Francesca Alinovi, Imre Bak, Bela Bartok, Miklos Beladi, Akos Birkas, Julien Blaine, William Burroughs, Monty Cantsin, Henri Chopin, Miklos Erdely, Wolfgang Ernst, Eva Forgacs, Tibor Hajas, Istvan Haraszty, Jozef Jakovits, Joan Jonas, Beke Laszlo, Kassak Theatre, Dora Maurer, Erdely Miklos, Tobit Papp, Gyula Pauer, Geza Perneczky, Mark Perry, Miklos Szentkuthy, Janos Szirtes, Annamaria Szoke, Adam Tabor, Min Tanaka, Gabor Toth, Ben Vautier, Janos Veto and others. A list of contributions can be seen at www.artpool.hu/Al/al01.html."AL tries to establish a little known art-from in Hungary - bookwork - and to explore its possibilities while looking for solutions only possible in workshop activities" - György Galántai statement on back cover of issue 2. In fact, this is definitely a Samizdat magazine but had to be declared as a bookwork as Júlia Klaniczay has written to us "We declared our Artpool Letter to be a bookwork (a graphic work). This way we by-passed the need to ask for a permission for publishing (which we would never get)."The first 9 issues have various interventions including rubber stamps, stickers, inserts, folded poster, plastic envelope inserts with printed cards etc. Very unusually, we have the complete set of envelopes for the first 9 issues (A5 format) which are each uniquely hand-stamped with three numbers. When you correspond this with the information on the booklets, one understands the numbering system. The first number on the envelope is the issue number. The second number is the the print run for that issue (there appears to be 5 print runs of 50 copies each). The final number is the individual number within that print run. The envelopes are in poor condition with tears and wear, but it is still important to have them to work out the unusual numbering system. All copies of the magazine have a slightly different but corresponding numbering system handwritten and signed by Galántai either on the back cover on inside back cover where the print run of 50 copies is indicated by roman numerals. 300 - 500 copies of each issue were printed.The complex numbering system was due to restrictions by the authorities on publications. As Júlia Klaniczay explains, artists could produce books u to an edition of 50 copies without applying for permission from the authorities. In the case of this magazine, "whenever a series of 50 was sold, we printed another 50." On page 69 of AL 5, there is a pencil-ticked book reference for publications relating to Galántai's Balatonboglari Chapel exhibition project in the early 1970s. Further to this a previous owner has added their own more expansive list of related publications to this important collective art project (loose sheet, biro and pencil on both sides, over 25 publications listed by hand).Together with double-sided broadsheet, describing the AL Letters published by Artpool at the same time as AL 4 was published, dated March 1984. Issues 1-9 measure 210x145 mm. Issues 10-11 measure 293x210 mm.…
