Checklist of the Exhibition

Silverman numbers. The numbering system for works in the Gilbert and Lila Silverman Collection is explained in Fluxus Codex, edited by Jon Hendricks (: Harry N. Abrams, 1988), p. 29.ln the present checklist, the Silverman number appears at the end of each item.

Dates: Dating of Fluxus works is an inexact science. The system used here employs two, and sometimes three, dates for each work. The first is the probable date the work was initially produced, or when production of the work began. based on information compiled in Fluxus Codex. If it is known that initial production took a specific period, then a second date, following a dash, is MoMAExh_1502_MasterChecklist used. A date following a slash is the known or probable date that a particular object was made.

Titles. In this list, the established titles of Fluxus works and the titles of publications, events, and concerts are printed in italics. The titles of scores and texts not issued as independent publications appear in quotation marks. The capitalization of the titles of Fluxus newspapers follows the originals. Brackets indicate editorial additions to the information printed on the original publication or object.

Facsimiles. This exhibition presents reprints (Milan: Flash Art/King Kong International, n.d.) of the Fluxus newspapers (CATS.14- 16, 19,21,22,26,28,44) so that the public may handle them.
