As you know, I’m compiling a history of art vending machines. Unfortunately, the record of such machines is often very spotty, sometimes consisting of no more than a rumor or picture. I’m going to start adding these as stubs, in case someone out there knows something more!
The first is this, a photo from the Flickr account of user upso, of Toledo, Ohio:
All we know is in 2006, Joseph D’Uva sold 168 different original lithographs from a toy capsule vending machine. I love his tongue in cheek humor, since of course it would be impossible to collect all 168. Why did he do it? How long did it run for?
This appears to be Joseph D’Uva’s website, but there’s no mention of the project.
If you can tell us more, please get in touch!
