 Evidence of the Hand in Art/Life in Light of the Livre D’Artiste, by Sophia Kidd, is in an issue of Comparative Literature: East & West, Issue 2 and is Open Access.
"We also have to wonder why some museums who own complete sets of the limited monthly have yet to unbox them. Fortunately there are others, such as the Los Angeles County Museum library, who have the entire set permanently showcased for public access on request.
Those institutions which do invest in the dissemination of Art/Life, in development of discourse about this early form of social media, will find that collaboration between disciplines such as art, philosophy, textual production, library science, material science, and social science will yield the most organic data concerning early Fluxus, New York, and Southern California avant-garde art. This early analog experiment in social media has yet to reach the zenith of its powers."
