£35.00
Berlin: Anna Arthur, n.d. (1993)
59.5 x 42cm, green, red and black offset lithographic poster protesting the death of Wolfgang Grams during a shoot out with German police. Grams was a second generation Rote Armee Faktion sympathiser and perhaps activist who was stopped at the Bad Kleinen train station by the GSG 9 (a police tactical unit) and after pulling a gun shot two of the police, killing one. He himself died supposedly by falling backwards onto the track and committing suicide but many believe he was shot in the hear by one of the GSG 9. This poster protests the killing which they claim to be murder. Three b/w photographs – one of Grams.
This is in poor condition with lots of surface scuffs on the left of the poster and small closed tears. Priced to account for this condition.
Officers were quoted as saying they saw Grams “suddenly fall backward” off the station platform and onto the track. Either before or after he fell, he allegedly shot himself in the head. He was taken to the Medizinische Universität zu Lübeck by helicopter where he died from his wounds a few hours later.
