The Daily Palette

|
The Daily Palette was an alternative art gallery project created by Robert Piser in the 1970s, in the San Francisco Bay Area, in which a series of newspaper vending machines were appropriated as street galleries for exhibiting the work of emerging Bay Area artists. The machines were customized to display and sell silkscreen prints for 25 cents a copy. The vending machines were placed at various art locations in Berkeley, Oakland and San Francisco. The silkscreen prints were printed by Piser and distributed to the machines on a daily basis. Locations included California College of Arts and Crafts, Smokey Joe's Cafe, Berkeley Art Museum, The Print Mint on Telegraph Avenue and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. The Daily Palette is the earliest known example of the art vending machine movement. Later examples include Clark Whittington's Art-o-mat. Piser revived The Daily Palette in the form of a website in 2006. :File:The daily palette logo.jpg |
