About This Item
A single page broadsheet for an exhibition printed in red and black on cream-colored paper stock with typography in various font sizes by Onorio, and the text in each language oriented in a different direction on the page. 11 5/8 inches by 11 7/8 inches, folded to 8 1/2 by 8 1/2 inches. Loose as issued. Creasing, light browning to paper, overall very good. Hamburg/Basel, 1960. This broadsheet was published in conjunction with an "exhibition of nothing" organized by members of the Zero group, Fluxus members, and others. It consisted of an empty gallery with nothing for sale. The text on the broadsheet indicates that a price list of essentially nothing is available, and no one will be speaking at the opening of the exhibition. "Verkauft wird nichts, numeriert und signiert. Preisliste liegt aus. Zur Eröffnung spricht niemand."
Participants included Carl Laszlo, Onorio, Rolf Fenkart, Bazon Brock, Herbert Schuldt, Piero Manzoni, Enrico Castellani, Heinz Mack, and Otto Piene.
The exhibition caused a stir and was well-attended. In fact, the exhibition was held over to accomodate the large number of visitors. The manifesto states that the exhibition promotes Avantgardism, Conventionalism, Modernism, Conservatism, Communism, Capitalism, Patrioism, Internationalism, Monochromism, Monotonism, Zen, Surrealism, Dadasim, Lettrisme, Constructivism, Neoplasiticism, and Tachisme.
As of February 2024, OCLC locates only two holdings in North America of this fascinating and notable document in the history of 20th century art.
