A4 flyer, black & white illus. on recto, details to verso, horizontal folds. Düsseldorf: Konrad Fischer, 1967.
The rare flyer for Posenenske’s debut exhibition at Konrad Fischer’s newly established gallery, Fischer paired this show with one for Hanne Darboven (1941-2009) at his Neubrückstrasse address. Both began on 5 December. The recto reproduces a contact sheet of photographs of her work.
“Fischer’s second exhibition was dedicated to two women artists from Europe: Hanne Darboven…presented her Konstruktionen (Constructions, 1966-67), comprising approximately 120 drawings in pencil and ink on blue graph paper, while Posenenske monopolized most of the narrow space with a combination of four-sided cardboard ducts from her Vierkantrohre Serie DW (Square Tubes Series DW) (1967). Posenenske’s work met with an enthusiastic response in Düsseldorf. One regional critic applauded the ‘brutal absolutism’ of ‘pure form’ with which her serially conceived work broke new ground in sculpture by using all the ‘radicalism of monumental form.”–Isabelle Malz, “‘Bizarre, but Debatable’ or a ‘Good Deal Less Art’: Charlotte Posenenske’s Consistently Radical Work and Contemporary Reactions to It,” Charlotte Posenenske: Work in Progress, p. 89.
In excellent condition. WorldCat records a single example in North American libraries (as of December 2024).
