Twelve works reproduced in colour by Appel, Constant, Vostell, Jorn, Dubuffet, Tapies, Rainier, Alechinsky, Zimmer, Sturm and others with a text in German. VG+.

30 x 52cm. Single blue sheet folded to comprise three printed sections. First issue of this collaborative protest by Spur group members and the Danish Bauhaus Situationists Gordon Fazarkerly & Jorgen Nash. Composed of a manifest co-signed by Beldeney, Gasche, Kunzelmann, Zimmer (of Spur), a poem by Fazarkerly; a second manifest authored by Jorgen Nash and signed in print by Thorsen, Stridf and Fjord. Folded as issued. Fine estate. Very scarce.

30x 21cm, 8pp plus original card wrappers. Exhibition catalogue for the German expressionist abstract painter group with links to CoBra and also the Internationale Situationistes (although Debord eventually expelled and condemned them). Spur consisted of the painters Heimrad Prem, Helmut Sturm and Hans-Peter Zimmer and the sculptor Lothar Fischer but the latter was not included in this exhibition of paintings. Herein are three b/w images of abstract paintings - one per artist and a photograph of each painter.

There is a short foreword by Asgar Jorn and an after word by Jorgen Nash on the history of the group claiming them as radical.

VG+. Very scarce.

23 x 14.5 cm. Single sheet printed with text in black on recto only. A collective denunciation of the presentation of the Sao Paolo grand prize for painting to Modesto Cuixard. Printed signatures of Pinot-Gallizio(Italian section), and the whole of the German (Gruppe Spur) section: Zimmer, Prem, Sturm, Eisch, Fischer, et. al. In part, their refusal to abandon the medium of painting would lead shortly to the various resignations and ex-communications of Pinot-Gallizio and Gruppe Spur (among others) from the I.S. A fine example. Scarce.

21 x 17cm, 76pp plus covers. Various coloured paper stock employed. The first (and perhaps only number) of this final manifestation of the German Spur Group which by now had diminished to joint public activities by Helmut Sturm and Heimrad Prem. The works show the roots of the German breakaway from the Situationists displaying COBRA-esque, expressionist flourishes in the main - which is hardly surprising given Cobra's coming together with Debord et al. in the '50s to form the core of the later political sect. By 1975 this remaining German duo had formed the Kollektiv Herzogstrasse grouping and published this journal with text and original lithographic contributions by Backmayer, Backmayer, Bartsht, Busse, Diri, Hermann, Niggl, Prem, Sturm, Saub, Strauch and Wald. Near fine. Exceptionally rare and often unknown even by collectors of SPUR/Situationism. This is the final primary document from end of a long evolution of radical / politicised art and an essential document for those fascinated by the twists and turns of a few people passing in and out of history and changing the world just a little bit here and there for better or worse.
