MAVEN, Max (1950 – 2022). Max Maven’s Spirit Slates. Circa 1990s. Oversize set of wooden-framed slates on which messages appear in chalk, apparently written by ghostly hands or spirits. Magnetic gimmick, with well-made cloth bag. Outer dimensions 14 x 11”. Minor wear from professional use. From the collection of Max Maven.
These slates appear similar to those owned and used by Maven’s friend and colleague, Eugene Burger.
