Independently of one another, Lucio Fontana in Italy, Hermann Goepfert in Germany and Jef Verheyen in Belgium had begun to postulate monochrome as a new idea in painting, together with the use of real elements, particularly light and motion, as pictorial materials. The intensive artistic exchange between Goepfert, Fontana and Verheyen culminated in 1963, in a collaborative work they exhibited in Berlin. “Untitled"" (1963) by Jef Verheyen, Lucio Fontana and Hermann Goepfert is one of the few collaborative works by several artists of different nationalities after 1945. In 1965, Goepfert went in person to Milan to invite Fontana to a joint exhibition with himself and Jef Verheyen in Berlin at Christian Chruxin’s situationen 60 Galerie. The Berlin exhibition showed the 1963 collaborative work, which had first been shown in that year at the Frankfurt Galerie d, in the exhibition “achrom 2”.
