Black & white illus. to recto, details on verso. Oblong pictorial postcard, mailed. Düsseldorf: Konrad Fischer, 1968.


Postcard invitation to Smithson’s only exhibition with Konrad Fischer. “While in Düsseldorf in 1969…Smithson toured the Ruhr-District, the largest industrial area in Germany, and here he recovered fron the slag dumps a lump of solid tar that retained the impression of its former fluid state on its surface. Smithson installed the lump in Konrad Fischer Gallery directly on the floor as Asphalt Lump (1969), accompanying the found sculpture with a map of the area where it was recovered, thus transforming the industrial byproduct into a Nonsite.”–Leigh A. Arnold, “Robert Smithson’s ‘Texas Overflow’ (1970),” Holt-Smithson Foundation website (accessed December 2024).


Near fine; foxing & discoloration to a portion of verso. Mailed to artist Wolf Kahlen.
