Cologne: Wolfgang Hake Verlag, 1968. Square quarto (25 × 25 cm). Original typographically designed wrappers (stab-sewn leporello binding); [48] pp and and 24 original graphic works by 21 artists, mainly colour serigraphs, aquatint etchings, and linocuts, but also one collage, all numbered and signed by the respective artist. Binding slightly finger-stained and with barely noticeable signs of wear; else very good. One of 90 copies of the deluxe portion of the print run with original prints (total print run: 200 copies, of which 100 without prints; ten further copies featured two additional signed prints). The graphic works collected here can largely be classified as belonging to the Berlin school of "critical realism," which distanced itself from American pop art and the Düsseldorf school of "capitalist realism" (Sigmar Polke, Gerhard Richter) on the one hand, but adopted their methods on the other. Above all, however, this movement positioned itself in opposition to the expressive painting of artists such as Markus Lüpertz. A few years after this publication appeared, the painters Bettina von Arnim and Ulrich Baehr were among the founding members of the West Berlin "Gruppe Aspekt". The graphic works are by Otmar Alt, Bettina von Arnim, Ulrich Baehr, Werner Berges, Gernot Bubenik, Klaus Heider, Bernhard Höke, Wolf Kahlen, Siegfried Kischko, Bernd Koberling, Karl Heinz Krüll, Christiane Maether, Jobst Meyer, Werner Pelzer, Wolfgang Rohloff, Manfred Schmale, Peter P. S. Sohn, Hans-J. Spesshardt, Gerd Struckmeier, Werner Wenz and Lambert Maria Wintersberger. Spindler 158, 29. As of January 2026, OCLC locates four copies in North America.…
