(Berlin): Galerie Rene Block (Edition 17), 1969. First edition. Softcover. 23.5 by 19.9cm. 448 pages. Monumental survey of the first fifteen years of Vostell’s artistic practice and one of the most important contemporary documents of European Happening and Fluxus. Extensively illustrated throughout, the volume records Vostell’s development from the earliest décollages of the mid-1950s through posters, environments, objects, happenings, scores, electronic works, and media interventions produced up to 1969. More than an exhibition catalogue, it functions as an artist’s archive, manifesto, and documentary record of one of the central figures of the post-war European avant-garde. A very good copy in photo-illustrated wrappers. Some chipping of the laminate.
