AFGHANISTAN – ZAMBIA. 1971.

Aaachen: Gegenverkehr e. V. Zentrum fur aktuelle Kunst, 1971
21 x 19cm. Unpaginated. Wrappers. Artist’s book/exhibition catalogue published on the occasion of Brouwn’s show and enlarges on the geographical aspect of the well known ‘step’ works. The work consists of twenty-five pages, each of which lists ten geographical locations per page in alphabetical order. The words “the total number of my steps i” precedes the name of each place from Afghanistan at the start to Zambia at the finish. The truth is that Brouwn did not really visit most of the countries he denotes as he having walked in. Some grubbiness to wrappers (as almost always in all Brouwn titles because of the mostly white wrappers) but a scarce Brouwn title.
