Number 5: a single sheet, printed on one side, folded in four. Number 6: 2 sheets cream paper, printed on one side, folded in four. Numbers 5 and 6 are accompanied by the envelopes in which they were sent, stamped in Paris, dated July and August 1970 respectively, with the author's stamp "Meta Art and Ne coupe pas magazine" on the back and Fernando Millán's address on the front. On the second sheet of number 6 it is specified that it is number 7-8-9 ... and so on until number 506, with a circulation of 500 copies. Given the date, these issues of the magazine were made after leaving the University of Orleans (where the previous and best-known four were made), when the author was already transferred to the University of Paris. Although they have not the wealth of sheets and authors of those previous issues, these copies show us the conceptual approach of the author's "project of publication" not without an ironic sense (as if numbering is sufficient to make the journal exist without specifying the content). ADDED: Assembling of a copy of No. 4 (with age wear) and several loose stencilled sheets of Meta-Art texts by Jean Claude Moineau stamped Meta-Art/Revue Ne Coupez Pas, plus a stickersheet with the same stamp on verso. Also contains the stencilled booklet "Textes a Tester -Meta Art" by Jean-Claude Moineau and Christiane Frougny, 12 sheets, stapled in the corner; texts and drawings. The lot contains approx. 60 loose sheets featuring audience participatory contributions possibly connected to the independent publishers festival at Galerie t Venster in Rotterdam, 5-25 September 1970, as well as promotional material for small art/poetry groups such as Revue-Tract, Ana Etcetera and Adriano Spatola.
