Jurgis Mačiūnas | Venus de Milo Apron, 1967-1973 | Screen printing on fabric vinyl with metal sleeves, 76.2×40.6

One of the copies of this artwork is part of the MoMA collection (a gift to the museum, Gilbert and Lila Silverman Fluxus collection, 2008).

This piece by Jurgis Mačiūnas (also known as George Maciunas), created between 1973 and 1975, was intended to be part of the third Fluxus Year Box, or Fluxpack 3 (yearbox). The planned edition of 1000 copies was never released, thus only individual prototypes of the artwork remain.

The catalog of the exhibition "Fluxus: selections from the Gilbert and Lila Silverman Collection" (Museum of Modern Art, New York, 1988) records the entire contents of the third Fluxus box (on page 50 of the printed catalog; page 63 of the PDF file, item No. 46).
