Description

The papers of John Evans document the collage artist's involvement with mail art. The vast majority of letters - many with embelllished envelopes - are from mail artists.

"John Evans Fake Collages" is Evans' most thoroughly mail art documented project. Also found are projects initiated by Christa Behmenburg, Leslie Caldera, Ryosuke Cohen, Peter W. Kaufmann, Angela and Peter Netmail.
