Eleanor Antin's 100 Boots Postcard Series

These postcards document Eleanor Antin’s performance art piece, also called 100 Boots and occurring from 1971 to 1973, during which one hundred pairs of black books traveled from California to New York. Antin is an American artist, born in New York in 1935, whose work in both visual and performance art explores history, contemporary culture, and feminist perspectives. These postcards were mailed by Antin to Image Bank, an art collective that facilitated and collected mail art. Image Bank was begun by Vancouver-based artists Michael Morris, Vincent Trasov, and Gary Lee Nova in 1970. Mail art was a movement based on sending small works of art through the mail. Image Bank created and published directories of participating artists that listed the types of images and correspondence artists were interested in receiving. Through these directories, Image Bank connected artists worldwide. The remnants of Image Bank exist now as the Morris/Trasov Archive, the founding collection of the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery’s archival holdings, in which these postcards are held.
