About This Item
Vienna., 1960. Single sheet printed recto only.. (28 x 20.5 cm).. Invitation flyer to Hermann Nitsch's first exhibition, which opened on November 3, 1960 in the rooms of the Loyalty Club in Vienna. Inspired by Tachism and Abstract Expressionism, Nitsch had begun to take up painting seriously in 1960, integrating it as an additional element into the overall concept of his Orgienmysterien Theater. Nitsch was to exhibit for the very first time in this joint show with his friend Fritz Kindl, at the Loyalty Club in Vienna. Nitsch exhibited several wax images alongside a group of seven drip paintings in differing formats entitled Kleiner Existenzaltar. The invite to the exhibition, the only document to exist from the show, is printed with a text by Nitsch, ""die existenzsacrale malerei angestrebt ist die konsequente sacralisierung der kunst”, and a short poem by Kindl, ""ichhabeeinpaar gedichtegemacht siesindvonmir ichhabe vielzeitundmühe aufgebracht…”.
