Copenhagen: Galerie Koepcke, n.d. (1962)
30- x 21cm, 1pp. The small poster/leaflet for the solo show by Otto Oslen which Arthur Keopcke intervened by adding mirrors, pieces of paper or fabric, hair, etc. to Olsen's more realistic works. Thankfully gallery owner and arist were friend. The design of the leaflet is a crazed collage of words and images as well as fake logos for a Keopcke beer. this is a rare document and one of the first manifestations of Keopcke's Fluxus sensibilities. VG+.

Copenhagen: Galerie Kopcke, 1961
15 x 11cm, 4pp (single sheet folded twice and printed only on one side). The announcement leaflet for de Phalle's first Danish exhibition at Adi Koepcke's gallery. The ornate design of the leaflet was by Koepcke and one can see aspects of the paste up due to less than perfect printing techniques. Formerly folded as issued but overall VG+. Rare.

Prague: Jazz Klub Reduta, 1966
15 x 10.6cm, 4pp. Concert programme for a joint performance by Andersen, Schmit and Koepcke. Typographic design only. also mentions a Jazz Club event and a night of films. Promoted by Jindrich Chalupecky - over 100 tickets were sold. The event didn't go down too well with one bad review in the local newspapers but one imagines nothing like it had been seen before. The main contact in Czechoslovakia at this time was Milan Knizak but it is not clear if he attended or not. Some browning near fold else VG. Scarce documentaiton of an early Fluxus event in Czechoslovakia.
