Toroni, Niele & Balthasar Burkhard. Teicher, Hendel
Genève. Musée Rath. 1984
Rare artist book / catalogue from the joint exhibition 'Balthasar Burkhard et Niele Toroni' (Geneva, 1984).
The exhibition was held at the Musée Rath in Geneva from 19 February – 25 March 1984.
From the edition limited to 600 copies.
''BB: 'Balth,tui travailles avec la photo, alors peut-on dire qu'ayant vu les repoductions de torses qui précècent on a vu ton travail?
NT: 'Non, Niele, on ne voit voit que des productions de mon travail, comme on ne voit que des reproductions du tien et jamais des empreintes de pinceau.'''
'In 1984, Balthasar Burkhard (1944–2010) and Niele Toroni (b.1937) presented a joint exhibition at the Musée Rath in Geneva. The poster featured two black-and-white images, a brush and a camera, on a white background. No title, no possible comment other than the names of the two artists, is offered to mediate what might appear to be the coming together of two radically different positions. In the exhibition space, however, subtle interactions between these two artists’ work quickly became apparent.' (Galerie Tschudi).
Some soiling to lower cover.
