Lucy Lippard’s “Send Slips” Artwork - Conceptual Mail Art Piece #2206389 (License: Personal Use)

This 1967 mail art piece by American conceptual artist Lucy Lippard features two large, stippled black circles resembling eyes above a pair of bold lips containing typewritten text: “SEND SLIPS TO LUCY LIPPARD / 138 PRINCE ST / NYC 10012.” The work blurs the line between artwork and functional instruction, inviting audience participation through physical correspondence. Its minimalist aesthetic and direct address reflect the era’s interest in dematerializing the art object and emphasizing process and communication.

Used in museum exhibitions, academic publications, and digital archives on conceptual art and feminist art history; serves user intent for researching 1960s avant-garde practices, mail art, or Lippard’s early work.
