Archival pigment print on perforated blotter paper.
A dive into alternate media, Paul Kremer has produced a series of blotter art prints. These iterations of Float 57 applied to perforated paper can be torn apart or left whole. One sheet of 900 blotter tabs tears into 225 4-way window panes, each comprising one of 75 unique Floats. Blotter art first appeared in the early ‘70s as LSD manufacturers went from selling liquid and sugar cube forms of the drug to placing it on perforated paper that looks like a sheet of small stamps. LSD makers commissioned the blotter art from contemporary artists, and this tradition of making collectible paper continues to this day. “I don’t know what’s more fun: art, or drugs, or art on drugs,” Kremer says. “Unfortunately, this art is sold without the drugs. ;)”
