111 pp.; 28 x 22 cm.; sewn bound; black-and-white & color; edition size unknown; unsigned and unnumbered; offset-printed Monograph documenting an installation by Paul Thek at the Lembruck Museum in Duisberg in the winter of 1973/74. An exhibition catalogue was never published but extensive installation photos were taken, and pre…sented here for the first time. Texts by Michael Krajewski, Marietta Franke, Siegfried Salzmann, Barbara Catoir, and Franz Deckwitz. Includes a list of works in the collection. "This publication is devoted to a little-known temporary artwork: in the winter of 1973/74 Paul Thek was a guest of the LehmbruckMuseum in Duisburg. His expansive environment "Ark, Pyramid - Christmas" ("The Manger") filled a whole room. It was the further development of his installation realized at Documenta 5 in Kassel (1972). This exhibition, organized by the director of the museum at the time, Siegfried Salzmann (1985-1993), was the fourth in Thek's series of atmospheric, large-scale projects in Europe, which engaged with individualized religious symbols. The festive period provided Thek with the occasion to present, for the first time, a self-written theatre piece in the form of a nativity play featuring children from Duisburg. A great quantity of original material and documents have been discovered in the museum's repository and enable a reconstruction of the exhibition in this book, accompanied by an interview that Marietta Franke conducted with Franz Deckwitz, who helped with the installation in 1973." -- publisher's statement. Very Good / Fine. Light rubbing of edges, otherwise Fine. Contents clean and unmarked. Due to large size and weight additional shipping charges will be required for international orders.

Softcover. Condition: Gut bis sehr gut. Limitierte Ausgabe. B : 4to. (Quartformat), 70 unpaginierte Seiten, durchgehend illustriert - In 1973, the American artist Paul Thek (1933 1988) realized, along with his friends, the Artist s Coop, the environment Ark, Pyramid, Easter A Visiting Group Show at the Museum of Art Lucerne. The… exhibition was the fourth in a series of what are today seen as the most significant atmospheric large-scale projects of the 1970s using individualized religious symbols. These installations, now lost, are also among the central works of the legendary artist. The goal of Paul Thek, in Process is to memorialize Thek s spatial work of that time and to locate it within a larger historical context. As exhibition, documentation and inscenation the series of exhibitions also investigate the status of ephemeral materials in exhibitions, the boundaries of the artwork, institutional history, reception, and today s practice of re-inscenation integrating ideas of an archaeological research and a transparent, revealing art mediation. As a result, the project follows Paul Thek s travels across Europe and is and will be shown in different forms at the Lehmbruck Museum in Duisburg, at the Museum of Art Lucerne and at the Moderna Museet Stockholm. - In comparison with the stages of the exhibition in Duisburg and Stockholm, in Lucerne Thek s idea of collaborative working practice plays a particularly important part. In 1973 the artist officially abandoned individual authorship for the first time and made the collective working method the subject of the exhibition itself. Consequently, in Paul Thek, in Process (Lucerne), some of the artists who worked in the Artist s Coop will be introduced, such as Franz Deckwitz, Edwin Klein, Cindy Lubar, Peter Hujar, Ann Wilson and Robert Wilson.
