Mel Bochner — Working Drawings and Other Visible Things on Paper Not Necessarily Meant to be Viewed as Art New York 1966

1.200,00 kr.

In 1966, Bochner curated an exhibition of working drawings collected from artist friends and colleagues. This landmark show of conceptual collaboration included work by Donald Judd, Robert Smithson, Eva Hesse, Sol LeWitt, Robert Mangold, Dan Graham, John Cage, and others. Also included were contributions from composers, mathematicians, choreographers, and engineers. The work was Xeroxed and then bound into four identical volumes that were then mounted on pedestals in the center of the gallery. This is a 1997 recreation of that event

    El Lissitsky? — Pressa USSR 1928 (SOLD)

    Rare original folder published on the occasion of the Soviet exhibition at Pressa Cologne 1928. The exhibition showed graphic design, publishing and press material and El Lissitzky was in charge. His design for the exhibition brought together architecture, graphics, photography, film and sound. He combined photomurals, and letters of every thickness and type running in every direction, turning the Soviet pavilion into a vast multimedia installation. The present folder is a text only and Sergey Ingulov writes on the situation of the newspaper in the Soviet Union of 1928. Cover possibly by Solomon Telingater or maybe even El Lissitsky.
