Complete set of the magazine produced by the Düsseldorf-based Zero group. The first two issues are catalogue-magazines, corresponding to the seventh and eighth Abendausstellung or ?Night Exhibitions? organised by the Zero group. Issue 1, devoted to the monochromatic exhibition Das Rote Bild, features articles and statements by Otto Piene, Heinz Mack, and Yves Klein, along with responses by several artists to the question, ?Bewirkt die gegenwärtige Malerei eminente formung der Welt??, or ?Does contemporary painting influence the shape of the world?? Issue 2 is based on the Zero exhibition entitled ?Vibration?, and contains texts by Max Bense, Adolf Zillmann and the two editors. The third and final issue is more substantial. It chronicles Jean Tinguely?s ?Homage to New York?, and includes a reprint of the front page of Yves Klein?s self-published broadsheet ?Dimanche? Of note in the issue are the various artist?s interventions: Klein publishes one article that ends midsentence where the page is burnt, and another that ceases with the page being torn. Tinguely has pasted a sunflower seed to the final page, and encourages the reader to plant it in the soil. Daniel Spoerri?s match is also stuck to this final page, accompanied by pyromaniac instructions to burn the entire magazine. The magazine?s final pages count down from 10 to 1, and end with the word ?zero? pictured as a rocket blasting off. This set of the magazine is from the collection of artist and author Jürgen Claus: Issue No. 1 inscribed by Piene on first page ?Jürgen ! Otto Piene?; No. 2 with unknown inscription on front cover; No. 3 - signed by both Piene and Mack (dated 1993) on the first page, and with a wonderful full-page pen drawing by Mack, signed and inscribed by the artist.
