Folder published on the occasion of the travelling group exhibition, Konzeptionelle Kunst, which brought together artists from the Munich based ?Studio UND? with other concrete artists: Antonio Calderara, Günter Fruhtrunk, Raimund Girke, Reimer Jochims, and Karl Prantl. Throughout 1969 the exhibition travelled from Galerie Stangl in Munich, to Galerie Der Spiegel in Cologne, Galerie Appel & Fertsch in Frankfurt, and then to Galerie Nächst St. Stephan in Vienna. The folder was published in an edition of 240 unnumbered copies, and contains five original colour screenprints printed on card, one by each of the five artists. This special copy has four of the prints signed: Calderara (signed in pencil on recto), Fruhtrunk (signed on verso), Girke (signed on verso), and Prantl (signed on recto). With introductory printed sheet of text by Umbro Apollonio. Loose as issued in printed three-part folder, illustrated with offset black-and-white illustrations and artist?s biographical details.

This compelling screen print exemplifies the artist?s rigorous approach to geometric abstraction and color dynamics. The composition is constructed from alternating vertical bands in vivid red, deep purple, and black, arranged in a precise rhythmic sequence. Through subtle variations in width and spacing, Fruhtrunk creates a powerful optical vibration, activating the surface and engaging the viewer?s perception. The work reflects his lifelong investigation into the psychological and spatial impact of color, line, and structure. *** The work is hand-signed in pencil on the reverse and numbered in pencil on the reverse. *** Sheet size approx. 50 x 65 cm. *** Günter Fruhtrunk (1923?1982) was one of the leading figures of post-war German abstraction and a key representative of Concrete and Constructive art in Europe. Strongly influenced by Bauhaus principles and French geometric abstraction, he developed a distinctive style characterized by disciplined structure, bold color contrasts, and a sense of movement generated purely through formal means. Fruhtrunk taught at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich and participated in major exhibitions such as documenta, firmly establishing his international reputation. His works are held in important museum collections, including the Städel Museum, Centre Pompidou, and Neue Nationalgalerie. # Authenticity and provenance guaranteed. # Delivered with a certificate of authenticity. # Worldwide shipping, tax-friendly to the USA and EU countries. # Custom handmade framing available on request.
