This framed mixed-media collage by Ginny Lloyd is titled Arlene Schloss – Blitzkreig and dated 1985, as indicated by the handwritten title and copyright notation along the lower margin. The work combines photographic imagery, typed text, handwritten annotations, and graphic elements mounted on paper, reflecting Lloyd’s continued engagement with Fluxus-influenced conceptual and documentary practices.

The composition features a central black-and-white photographic image of a female figure wearing a theatrical mask, partially obscured by expressive brushwork. Adjacent to the photograph is an original artist questionnaire form filled out and annotated by hand, incorporating arrows, symbols, typed responses, and visual interruptions. The questionnaire includes references to performance, writing, life, death, and artistic survival, reinforcing the autobiographical and performative nature of the work.

The title references Arlene Schloss, a key figure in the downtown New York performance and art scene of the late 1970s and 1980s, situating the piece within a specific cultural and historical moment. Lloyd’s use of found documents, portraiture, and handwritten commentary aligns the work with Fluxus, mail art, and post-conceptual collage traditions.

The work is signed “Ginny Lloyd” in pencil and dated 1985, with the title handwritten along the lower edge. Paper edges appear deckled, consistent with hand-assembled artist works of the period. The piece is framed and has not been removed for examination.

Ginny Lloyd is a recognized Fluxus-affiliated artist whose practice spans performance, mail art, artistamps, and mixed-media works documenting alternative art communities and participatory culture.
