PRO. Blatter fur neue Literatur. (later subtitled: Ein schriftlicher Vorgang; Jahrbuch fur Mitteilungssysteme). Nos. 1 - 27. [All published].

Krefeld / Düsseldorf.: Hansjürgen Bulkowski., 1966 - 1977.. 27 issues in 26 vols. (one double issue). Original stapled wrappers, gummed wrappers, and metal clip binding.. A complete set of PRO, one of the more compelling of German art periodicals of the 60’s and 70’s, with a wide range of contributions by avant-garde writers and artists of the period. The magazine was founded, edited and compiled by the Krefeld-based writer Hansjürgen Bulkowski, who was also a co-founder of the so-called “LIDL Room” in Düsseldorf (together with Chris Reinecke, Jörg Immendorff and Wolfgang Feelisch). Bulkowski had close ties with Leftist movements worldwide, and acted as their German language spokesman and translator. As such, the early issues of PRO are each centred around one topic which Bulkowski was sympathetic towards: issue no.5 - Anarchie und Humor (Provo); no. 6 - the Beats; no. 8 - Tulli Kupferberg & the Hippies. Whilst the early numbers are small in format, the middle issue (nos. 13 -30) are larger in format, and artistic content, typography and lay-out become more elaborate. Contributors include: Thomas Bayrle (two original colour screenprints printed on clear plastic, bound in double issue 11/12), Horst Bingel, Peter Faecke and Wolf Vostell (poster insert in issue 17), Simon Vinkenoog, Peter Chotjewitz, Reimar Lenz, Dietrich Albrecht, Wolfgang Feelisch, Hans-Peter Alvermann, Claus Boehmler, Rolf-Dieter Brinkmann, Stanley Brouwn, Henning Christiansen, Hans Peter Feldmann, Jorg Immendorff (cover and repeat loose double sheet of issue no. 15), Robert Filliou, Jochen Gerz, Hans Imhoff, Ludwig Gosewitz, Tuli Kupferberg, Ernst Jandl, Franz Mon, Maurizio Nannucci, A.R. Penck, Chris Reinecke, Wolfgang Schmidt, Tomas Schmit, Miroljub Todorovic, Vangelis Tsakiridis, and many others.
