Tilburg Times - visit from USA

In the 90-ies I was still living in Tilburg (Capucijnenstraat).  In 1995 Bill Gaglione and Jon Held Jr. came to Europe for a special Performane connected to the Fake Picabia Bros. 

They wanted to document all the rubberstamps made by Mail-Artists and that is why they visited me in Tilburg to print all the stamps in my collection.

A photo was made to document the event.
