Ernst Jandl. Erschaffung der Eva

Cambridge, IKPF (International Concrete Poetry Fund), 1964. Printed black on green stock, 38 x 38 cm. Unsigned unnumbered edition of fewer than 60 copies. Extremely rare, mint copy.

The print was shown in the Cambridge Concrete and Kinetic Poetry Exhibition in 1964, the first exhibition of concrete poetry in the UK at St. Catherine’s College, Cambridge. The curators (Stephen Bann, Phil Steadman, Mike Weaver and Reg Gadney) produced three prints to be sold in order to raise funds for the cost of the exhibition. This is one of these prints.
