Annotation:

Complete series of the renowned Swiss magazine for contemporary art. — Issues 40/41, 50/51, and 100/101 are double issues bound in a single volume. Includes the sought-after issue no. 2, featuring the 27-part (5.5 m long) leporello "Desastres und bare Wunder" on spiderweb paper by Sigmar Polke: “The template for the offset print of the leporello was created on May 11/12, 1984, in Cologne, as a fivefold enlarged strip copy of a film. Polke had already developed this film in 1982, using raspberry brandy, coffee, Pril (a dishwashing detergent common in West Germany), and other tricks known only to the artist himself. The film includes, among other things, images from an open book on Francisco Goya and sections of a patterned house wall.” (Bice Curiger)
