hey love the blog, do you know where i can get in contact with the kaprow family, i want to use some of his images “household” for a art composition, possible a live proformance and might sell or give away recordings of the show, and i want to know about copyrights etc..
Hi Matthew I wouldn’t have a clue as to how to contact Allan Kaprow’s people. Unfortunately, he died only a few months ago. Perhaps you can contact the university he was working with in California? I’d be interested to hear your progress. Cheers, Lucas
