LIDL. 1981.

Eindhoven: Van Abbemuseum, 1981
30 x 21cm, 96pp plus covers. Useful, informative and well documented account of Immendorff’s early 60’s LIDL activities and actions. Over 120 b/w and colour reproductions of photographs. LIDL (the sound of a baby’s rattle) was the basis for numerous public works, political protests against the state, campus demonstrations and, astonishingly, an artists’ sports event which included Robert Filliou, Schmit, Ben, Koepke as active participants and a cycle race to Broodthaer’s Eagle museum. Very good although some grubbiness on the covers and the remnant of a fold on one edge throughout the book.
