paul robertson — Sun, 29 Dec 2024 10:29:34 +0000

Koln: Sammlung Ludwig, Wallraff Richartz Museum, 1970

30 x 25,5 x 7cm, unpaginated (appr. 250 pp). Transparent plastic covers, plexiglass spine, the all bound with metal screws. Texts throughout in both German and English by Evelyn Weiss. The all encompassing exhibition catalogue which accompanied the famous exhibition of "Art of the Sixties" from the Ludwig collection.

Printed on styrofoam and brown wrapping papers with full colour plates tipped on and with b/w portraits of the artists printed on transparent foiles, this is the scarce second edition (the first is very rare) amongst the five different editions issued during the run of the show, each of which was extended and increased in size.

The artists featured cover the entire range of pop art and include J. Albers, J. Beuys, Cy Twombly, Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol, Rauschenberg, Jim Dine, Allen Jones, Lucia Fontana, Jasper Johns, Yves Klein, Donald Judd, Gerhard Richter, et al.

This is a tour-de-force of book art as designed by Wolf Vostell. This copy is in near fine condition and is scarce as the second edition (as noted above the first is extremely scarce and the three other editions after this one much less so). A lovely item indeed.

V TRE. 1963. FIRST MENTION OF “V TRE” – PRECURSOR TO MACIUNAS’ FLUXUS JOURNAL.

paul robertson — Wed, 22 Jul 2020 08:32:02 +0000

NYC: s.p. (Brecht), 1963 32.5 x 25cm, 2pp, Black on cream paper. The very first mention of "V TRE" - a name apparently appropriated from a broken neon sign - which Brecht published a year before Maciunas began the publication of the journal of the same name. Contributions from Claes Oldenburg, Ruth Krauss, Robert Morris, Heinz Gappmayr, Angus MacLise and Jackson MacLow. Brecht's design clearly was copied by/influenced Maciunas who created very similar paste ups to this item in the later journals. This is very rare and this example is in VG+ condition.

Morris has a pessimistic view of the international politics of the day - and who might argue with him? VG+ in like folder.
