Exhibition invitation: Lothar Baumgarten (15 May-9 June 1976).
Green printed card insert, & printed envelope, mailed. Bremerhaven: Kabinett für aktuelle Kunst Bremerhaven, 1976.
A distinctive invitation for Baumgarten’s only show at Jürgen Wesseler’s gallery. This is one of very few that deviate from the postcard format; Baumgarten’s consists of an envelope with the exhibition dates and a green card with text providing the exhibition’s title: “Der tropische Regen fällt senkrecht von Himmel, es weht kein Wind.”
In fine condition. Mailed to curator Judith Cahen (b. 1938) and graphic designer Wim Crouwel (1928-2019).
