About This Item
[73] leaves. 4to (296 x 215 mm.), orig. green semi-stiff boards, orig. gray tape over spine. N.p.: "Nov 75."
A superb book by Gabriele Schmidt-Heins (b. 1949), filled with painted and stained interventions to every page. Other pages have been carefully cut or torn - one leaf has been intentionally torn in half and then re-attached with tape. Much of the book contains boldly drawn shapes and compositions and towards the end gradually turns to subtler manipulations of the leaves.
This is a remarkable example of the twins' intense exploration of the book form, in fine condition.
❧ For other examples of the twins' bookworks from this period see Barbara Schmidt-Heins & Gabriele Schmidt-Heins, eds., Buchwerke: Original-Bücher 1972 bis 1976 (Kunstraum München: 1976).
