Beuys, Rot[h], Vostell et al. Edition Staeck / Tangente

Heidelberg. Edition Tangente. 1968
Sold
The very scarce complete set Klaus Staeck's 'Serie 1 - Köln' postcards all, exceptionally, signed by the relevant artist.

This set of original postcards was published by Klaus Staeck's Edition Tangente which soon became Edition Staeck. Each of the postcards is classified as an 'Originalgrafik', and this set - Staeck's first serie of artist postcards - includes Joseph Beuys' second artist postcard. This exceptional set features all but one 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 city of Cologne
