9 EVENINGS: THEATRE AND ENGINEERING PRESS CONFERENCE. 1966. LATER PRINT.

paul robertson — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 14:27:00 +0000

N.p.: n.p., n.d. 30 x 21cm, black and white silver gelatine photograph from original negative taken at the press conference for Billy Kluver's 9 Evenings initiative where he attempted to include scientists and engineers in the arts to inform artists of new available technologies. John Cage is speaking and one can identify Billy Kluver, Öyvind Fahlström, Lucinda Childs, David Tudor, Yvonne Rainer, Robert Rauschenberg at the top table amongst others. This image was originally taken by Fred McDarrah and his estate retains copyright on the image so this is sold for personal use and not for reproduction. This is in very good condition and a crisp modern print (post 1990s we suspect) from original negative. If this was a vintage print we would charge much more.

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.
