Many black & white illus. 48 pp. 8vo, softcover & pictorial dust-jacket. Berlin: Neue Gesellschaft für bildende Kunst, 1983.

Rare exhibition catalogue, Koch states that the edition was 500 copies. For this group show, Kippenberger presented five pieces from the “Abschied vom Jugendbonus” series (1982/3).

“This catalogue with texts by Barbara Straka and Ulla Frohne was published to accompany a group exhibition on the theme of photocollage at the NGBK Realismusstudio 24 in Berlin…Each of the artists involved has one page of biographical and oeuvre data, and five pages of illustrations…

“Straka writes about Kippenberger’s works: ‘…there is a tendency here to use the specialist reading of the petty bourgeois, nudist leaflets of the lowest category, reproduced in print, pasted over, sprayed over, torn, etc.: the levels of found and reproduced illustrations, objective material and anarchic-subjective processing overlap.’”–Koch.

In excellent condition.
