Dieter Roth, Quick, 1965/94

Hand bound book multiple, comprising of approx. 150 sheets cut from the magazine 'Quick', 1965, 3.2 x 1.6 x 1.6 cm. Signed and dated 1965/94 by Dieter Roth on the cover sheet. From an edition of 105 unique booklets, published by Dieter Roth and Boekie Woekie, Amsterdam in 1994, housed in a transparent plastic box with blue adhesive hinge, overall 5 x 3.2 x 2.7 cm.

A paper certificate is wrapped around the booklet, with text by Dieter Roth in Dutch, German and English explaining the origin of the multiple. Originally 150 copies of Quick were published by Rieser in 1965, but only 45 were sold. The story goes that the left-over copies were discovered in a shoebox in the Cologne storage of Galerie Rudolf Zwirner in 1994, which were then sent to Boekie Woekie in Amsterdam for a revival of the project. Roth added a small container for the booklet, and the wrap-around information sheet. Very good copy.
