The very scarce complete set Klaus Staeck's Documenta IV postcards all, exceptionally, signed by the relevant artist.
This set of original postcards was published by Klaus Staeck in response to the controversial Documenta IV Kassel in 1968. Each of the postcards is classified as an 'Originalgrafik', and this set includes Joseph Beuys' very first artist postcard. This exceptional set features each of the postcards signed by the respective artist; although no explicit limitation is given, it is probable that not more than ten such sets exist. Each of the images depicted was inspired by the Museum Fridericianum in Kassel.
