Notes
Dating reflects the opening of the Digger Free Store in New York City as reported in the East Village Other, October 1, 1967, p. 18. Martin Carey was recognized as a graphic artists and a member of the NYC contingent of Diggers.
Abstract
A Spanish-language Digger poster announcing “Everything is free in the Diggers’ store,” likely made to invite the surrounding neighborhood into the Free Store experiment. Martin Carey’s dense black-and-white collage turns the Free Store into a visionary garden or altar of abundance, with flowers, moths, butterflies, frogs, eyes, and a saint-like central figure gathered into a field of metamorphosis. The poster is notable for translating the Digger idea of free into a language of beauty and wonder rather than ideology: the store appears not as a charity outlet, but as a magical commons where everything is available without money.
