Notas
Wallace Bermans legendary artists magazine. This issue w. contributions by Hermann Hesse, Paul Eluard, Jack Anderson, Michael McClure, Eric Cashen, Charles Bukowski, Paul Valery, David Meltzer, John Altoon (signed print) etc. Semina was published for nine issues, between 1955 to 1964. Exceedingly rare. Clay and Phillips, p.78f: "Its circulation never exceeded a few hunderd copies. You could not buy Semina; it was sent to you. Consequently, some claim it as the precursor to "mail art"". SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE XIX.
