Barton Lidice Benes is a contemporary artist almost impossible to categorize other than that he is a conceptual artist. Among other things he makes boxes with Plexiglas fronts containing found objects presented in a droll humorous manner. One of his sources was correspondence from his aunt Evelyn, an eccentric retired widow in Florida, who sent him up to several times a week 50 to 60 page letters which he turned into art. This 1970’s box “Letters from aunt Evelyn” has copies of his aunt’s correspondence written in various colored inks on the inside of 20 egg shells. The box is 17” x 17" and 2 1/2" deep.
