Issued for Philippe Cazal’s 1990 exhibition Collection at Galerie Claire Burrus. Cazal’s practice is closely tied to advertising, branding, typography, and the artist-name as logo: in the 1980s he turned his own name into a graphic trademark, using repetition and visual identity as artistic material. The Collection exhibition transformed the gallery into something like a collector’s interior, with the Philippe Cazal logo occupying objects and surfaces.
The recto is a strong graphic object in its own right: the repeating stripe of alternating positive and negative logo bands creates a dense optical rhythm that functions simultaneously as branding, pattern, and conceptual statement. The mailed verso adds a further layer — invitation, logo, document, and circulated object in one — with the original postal frank and address label intact.
Shipping and handling included.
