This postcard by Steve Dalachinsky is part of a series devoted to artists’ postcards initiated by Primary Information in the wake of the Trump Administration, as well as the social and political tumult that preceded it. Since the election, there has been a growing movement of citizens using postcards to voice their concern to their representatives. As such, the postcard is a media form that is vital to political and social engagement in the United States. It is also a form with a dedicated image space, and Primary Information feels strongly that images accompanying this civic engagement should be created by artists.
Each month, Primary Information commissions artists to produce postcards in an ongoing open edition. All postcards are priced at cost.
Postcards have long been a part of the artist book tradition, with artists engaging with the form for well over 50 years now. While Primary Information sees this project as a continuation of that very important tradition, the organization also sees the need to double down on this form as a political space embedded with the urgency, diversity, and complexity of voices that are the hallmark of our times. Who better to do this than artists?

Untitled (Arthur Rimbaud in Paris) is an editioned photograph by David Wojnarowicz produced on the occasion of Primary Information’s publication of Wojnarowicz’s Dear Jean Pierre. This edition is produced from the artist’s Arthur Rimbaud series and is the only one that is not set in New York City. Originally produced in 1980, the work depicts Wojnarowicz’s Parisian lover Jean Pierre Delage standing in front of the Eiffel Tower, wearing a life-size mask of Arthur Rimbaud and holding a burning newspaper.
Untitled (Arthur Rimbaud in Paris) is printed by Gary Schneider, the acclaimed photographer and printer who worked with David Wojnarowicz and Peter Hujar in the 1980s. The print is produced in an edition of 100 and is stamped and numbered by the Estate of David Wojnarowicz. It comes enclosed in the inside cover of the Dear Jean Pierre book.
The first 50 prints in this edition are priced at $600, with the following 30 priced at $800, and the final 20 priced at $1,000.
David Wojnarowicz (1954-1992) was born in Red Bank, New Jersey. Wojnarowicz channeled a vast accumulation of raw images, sounds, memories and lived experiences into a powerful voice that was an undeniable presence in the New York City art scene of the 1970s, 80s and early 90s. Through his several volumes of fiction, poetry, memoirs, painting, photography, installation, sculpture, film and performance, Wojnarowicz left a legacy, affirming art’s vivifying power in a society he viewed as alienating and corrosive. His use of blunt semiotics and graphic illustrations exposed what he felt the mainstream repressed: poverty, abuse of power, blind nationalism, greed, homophobia and the devastation of the AIDS epidemic. Wojnarowicz died of AIDS-related complications on July 22, 1992 at the age of 37.
