Biographical History
The Beau Geste Press existed in England between 1971-1974. It was founded by Felipe Ehrenberg, David Mayor, Chris Welch, and Martha Hellion. It printed the works of visual poets, conceptualists, and neo-dadaists, many of whom were closely tied to the Fluxus movement. The press printed artist books using inexpensive materials, such as mimeograph machines, cheap paper, and staples. Consequently, many of the materials in the collection are rather fragile. In 1974 the Beau Geste Press merged with several similar presses to form BAAA, the Beau and Aloes Arc Association. Included in the collection (accession 1999-081) is correspondence between David Mayor and Felipe Ehrenberg, 1971-1984. In the same accession is a folder containing text and prototypes for the artist book PUSSYWILLOW.
