paul robertson — Mon, 09 Mar 2020 17:15:52 +0000

Aachen: Neue Galerie im alten Kurhaus, 1970 30.5 x 21.5 cm folder content of 5, 30 x 21cm, 4pp b/w inserts with photographic images, a 64pp, 21 x 15cm, plus plain wrappers artist's book, two 30 x 21cm, 4pp inserts with text by Dr Wolfgang Becker in German and Englis and a 30 x 21cm, 1pp folded gallery insert. As with all the gallery's catalogue this is an extensive and interesting collation of material - some browning but overall VG+. Strangely the gallery has got the artist's name wrong and has Joel Fisher as Joel Fischer.

Monchengladback: Monchengladback Museum, 1975]20.5 x 16 x 2.8cm, two part printed box containing two items: a 30 x 21cm, 3pp (recto only) with an introductory text / essay by Johannes Cladders and an 18.5 x 15.2cm, unpaginated exhibition catalogue designed by Joel Fisher which is illustrated throughout with tiny photographs of Fisher's work and explanatory texts in German and English. One of 660 numbered copies. Sadly the box has a couple of closed tears on one of the sides of the top half (not an uncommon problem with the Monchengladbach boxes since often the contents did not support the size of the packing and the boxes were crushed on shelves, etc.). Internally and otherwise fine.
