Exhibition flyer: Artschwager Bei Konrad Fischer (18 June-9 July [1968])
Black & white illus. Single sheet, folded as issued. Düsseldorf: Konrad Fischer, [1968].
Flyer announcing the artist’s only show with Konrad Fischer. The exhibition was organized in cooperation with Galerie Ricke in Cologne. Printed on one side of the flyer is a disorienting photograph of Fischer’s famously narrow gallery, with some of the artist’s blps.
“In June 1968, Artschwager invaded Konrad Fischer’s gallery space on Neubrückstrasse with his blps, which are black, sometimes white, three-dimensional signs made of wood, artificial turf, or horsehair. blps could be found anywhere, jumping out and surprising viewers in the city, on the street, or in fields and meadows. Artschwager also integrated them as motifs in his paintings…Fischer established contact with Artschwager through Kasper König, and the exhibition at Konrad Fischer’s gallery was the artist’s first solo show in Europe. This was his only exhibition at the gallery, although Artschwager participated in the legendary show Live in Your Head. When Attitudes Become Form…”–Cloud & Crystal: The Dorothee and Konrad Fischer Collection (2016 exhib. booklet), p. 18.
In excellent condition.
