Photographs - Atlas, Charles, 1983
Scope and Content of the Collection
Drawings, sketches, prints, photographs, photoreproductions, notebooks, and cassette mixtapes created by photographer and artist Lars Luick.
Luick’s artwork includes designs he did as an architecture student as well as sketches of people, miniature pencil drawings of buildings and monuments in Europe, collages with found material, photographs, photo-reproductions of photographs, mixtapes, and postal art. He compiled “Notebooks” in 3-ring binders to document all of his activities and interests. The content of the Notebooks vary widely from sheets torn from magazines, art originals and copies, photograph originals and copies, and copies of mail art sent out.
Cassette tapes are an assortment of mixtapes mostly from commercial recordings, created by Luick. Includes opera, jazz, pop and rock, country, and punk genres. The outer cards are often decorated with photographs of Luick and others. One item entitled “Punkumentary” looks to be a telephone interview with Olga De Volga, along with songs by Poison Girls, Flying Lizards, Zounds, Marianne Faithfull, and others.
