Beschreibung

With 30 hors-texte colour plates, all sheets printed recots only. With four interleaving sheets of transparent paper, each printed with concrete poetry. ArtistÕs book, printed in an edition of 200 copies, numbered and signed in pencil by Schmidt. ÒIn a sequence of 30 sheets, the colours black, red, yellow, blue are played through in the variety of their shades and their mixtures: colour shows itself as an absolute appearance and as a partner of light. These studies on monochromy make direct use of the possibilities of printing without making use of the canvas: the prints themselves are the originals, so that the viewer experiences the unadulterated colour that is meant. All prints are made with the same clich . In the combined prints, it was rotated 90 degrees before each subsequent print run.Ó (from the artistÕs printed introductory statement). German printmaker Wolfgang Schmidt (1929 - 1995) attracted national and international attention through his graphic work, with one of his most important works being the graphic conception for the U-Bahn subway in Frankfurt am Main. In 1964 Schmidt was appointed to participate in the graphics section of documenta III in Kassel, and his work was also included in the 1971 exhibition ÔKonkrete Poesie?Õ held at the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam and the W rttembergischer Kunstverein in Stuttgart. Original wrappers with dust-jacket. Uneven sun-staining to jacket, otherwise good. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 961
