Hannover: Kestner-Gesellschaft Hannover, 1965

20.2 x 16.6, unpaginated - approx 160pp. Card covers. First edition of this extensive exhibition catalogue with a large number of works from the Zero Group reproduced in black and white and colours. The exhibition was organised just as the group ceased to exist and the intent of the organisers was to show all three artists as individuals with a nod to the recent past. Very good with extensive essays in German on Mack, Piene and Uecker. An essential period reference.

LAID IN: a contemporary newspaper cutting with a long review of the exhibition.
