Black & white illus. on recto. details on verso. Pictorial postcard, mailed. Düsseldorf: Konrad Fischer, 1969.
Postcard invitation to the artist’s debut exhibition with Konrad Fischer. This collaboration was consequential for Rückriem (b. 1938) and his career, he developed formative relationships with the gallery’s other artists such as Andre, LeWitt, and Long.
“[Rückriem] met Carl Andre through Kasper König…Andre had had the first exhibition at Konrad Fischer’s new gallery at the end of 1967. Rückriem was deeply impressed by Andre’s work, and he decided to change his artistic approach. Where before he had been using wood and band iron for his sculptures, now he preferred stone blocks taken directly from the quarry…Through König and Andre, Rückriem also got in touch with Konrad Fischer. In December 1969, he presented his new stone sculptures…”–Cloud & Crystal: The Dorothee and Konrad Fischer Collection (2016 exhib. booklet), p. 64.
