Illus. & details on recto. Card. Berlin: Galerie René Block, 1969.

Announcement card for Brouwn’s second solo show with René Block. It bears a rare image of the artist, albeit with his head turned, at the intersection of Schwerinstrasse and Zietenstrasse in Berlin, likely taking directions for this way brouwn by walkie-talkie. The text on the card reads: “Stanley Brouwn is here. / Show him Berlin! / Write to us right away - / or call us! / Please let us know your address (Telephone!) / Stanley Brouwn will contact them.”
