No. 23 - arriving mail art "Gundling Meese Erzstaat Otto Bismarck" from Jonathan Meese (Germany) sent in by Angela Behrendt (Germany)

No. 23 - arriving mail art "Gundling Meese Erzstaat Otto Bismarck" from Jonathan Meese (Germany) sent in by Angela Behrendt (Germany) - a stunning submission from well known performance artist Jonathan Meese. Angela Behrendt told me that she wants to go to a vernisage of Jonathan Meese and I asked her why not ask the artist to make me a mail art for my new call, and she did and Meese too. Jonathan Meese wrote "Otto Bismarck" on his artist card, signed and dated it - and in a way it is well fitting to the theme because the artist it holding the german eagle in this portrait. Angela sent the card inside an envelope in which she used the Bismarck stamps I have sent to her and the text "er hat sich nur schwach geäußert" (he expressed himself in a weakly way). Thank you very much for this highlight in the collection.
