Prospect 68: Catalog-newspaper for the international preview of art in avant-garde galleries

Dusseldorf, Städtisches Kunsthalle, 1968. Tabloid, 37.5 x 26.5 cm, 40 pp. Catalogue for the groundbreaking series of exhibitions, initiated by Hans Strelow and Konrad Fischer, presenting international avant-garde art, in reaction to the traditional national presentations at the Cologne Art Fair.

Rare document featuring 16 international galleries and their programs, among them Apollinaire (Milano), Iris Clert (Paris), Wide White Space (Antwerp), Robert Fraser (London), Yvon Lambert (Paris), Dwan (New York) and Swart (Amsterdam). Participating artists include Joseph Beuys, Marcel Broodthaers, Bruce Nauman, Panamarenko, Paul Thek and many others. The centerfold features an artists' contribution by Daniel Buren: a striking green striped double page. Moderate browning of the delicate paper, else very good.
