Introductory roneo-typed text sheet on pink paper + 54 original screenprinted & offset-printed postcards on 18 perforated sheets. Jan Voss postcard signed by the artist on verso. The final 12th issue of KWY magazine, published in an edition of 300 copies. The magazine was founded by the artists René Bartholo and Lourdes Castro in 1958 as a vehicle for the Portuguese avant-garde in exile. The letters ?K, W and Y? were so rarely used in Portuguese that they were officially banished from the language in 1943, serving as a metaphor for the artists? own feelings of marginalisation from their native country. The magazine?s final issue was this ?Album? (dated Winter 1963 but actually published 1964). It is a compilation of 54 postcards printed on 18 perforated pages, designed as such so that the cards could be removed and mailed. Includes designs by Pierre Alechinsky, André Balthazar, René Bertholo, Quido Biase, Karl-Friedrich Brust, Camille Bryen, Samuel Buri, Dick Cassee, Lourdes Castro, Paul Colinet, Corneille, Carlos Cruz-Diez, Sergio Fergola, Erro, Gonçalo Duarte, Alberto Greco, Jacques van der Heyden, Iri Bernardini, Marta Minujin, André Morain, Alexandro Otero, Julio Le Parc, Mercedes Pardo, Shunk-Kender, W. Spribille, Herve Telemaque, and Jan Voss. An editorial comment printed on the introductory text leaf advises that, due to the editor?s superstition, the thirteenth issue of KWY would appear at a later, very indeterminate date, but the the editors had already collectively decided to bring the magazine to an end.
