- Used
[100] leaves. Small 8vo (206 x 149 mm.), orig. thick paper covers (a little sunned) with pencil-drawnline. N.p.: "Aug '72."
A one-of-a-kind handmade bookwork by Gabriele Schmidt-Heins (b. 1949), this example comes with a folded index card with handwritten notes on its concept and composition. The books of either Schmidt-Heins twin are rare, only a handful are held institutionally in North America. In the 1970s, the twins created a series of unique conceptual bookworks, all executed and bound by themselves. Numerous interventions - folds, tears, excisions, cuts, etc. - combined with the use of materials, some quite novel, such as ink, graphite, coffee, tape, chalk, linseed oil, water, casein, soil, rivets, shellac, shoe polish, siccative, wax, etc., etc.
The conceit of the present work is straightforward: a bold horizontal pencil-drawn line through the entire textblock and around the covers, dividing the book in two. We have taken the title "Unendliche Linie" from a printed label pasted to the inside of the lower cover, where Schmidt-Heins has also recorded the month of completion.
From the stamped and manuscript index card: "Prinzip/Methode: Linie ohne Anfang und Ende [Line without Beginning and End] / Entwurf: Aug '72 / Ausführung: " / Material: 100 Bl[ätter]. Papier / Grösse: Din A5 (Hochf.) / Stärke: 1.2 cm / Stift: Bleistift."
In excellent condition.
❧ For other examples of the twins' bookworks from this period see Barbara Schmidt-Heins & Gabriele Schmidt-Heins, eds., Buchwerke: Original-Bücher 1972 bis 1976 (Kunstraum München: 1976).

Description:
8vo (212 x 151 mm.), orig. semi-stiff boards (stained), orig. gray tape over spine. N.p.: "Okt. 1977." One of the Schmidt-Heins twins' archetypal bookworks, in a characteristically modest binding holding 50 folding leaves with an identical motif applied. In this case, on the lower inner corners of the rectos, a diagonal line has been drawn with a thick purple pencil; the versos bear cut-out brown triangles that are precisely placed to mirror the recto lines. The glue employed, likely casein-based, has seeped through the leaves and covers. "The decision to break away from the individual exclusive sheet, instead: summation as principle. 100 sheets bound into a book also conceived as volume and weight. The resultant change of attitude determines how and with what the sheets are to be processed: search for methods, laying the framework of action. In each case the 100 sheets are to be subjected to the same process. The claim of the single sheet is relativized by hundredfold repetition. Result:…

Description:
[73] leaves. 4to (296 x 215 mm.), orig. green semi-stiff boards, orig. gray tape over spine. N.p.: "Nov 75." A superb book by Gabriele Schmidt-Heins (b. 1949), filled with painted and stained interventions to every page. Other pages have been carefully cut or torn - one leaf has been intentionally torn in half and then re-attached with tape. Much of the book contains boldly drawn shapes and compositions and towards the end gradually turns to subtler manipulations of the leaves. This is a remarkable example of the twins' intense exploration of the book form, in fine condition. ❧ For other examples of the twins' bookworks from this period see Barbara Schmidt-Heins & Gabriele Schmidt-Heins, eds., Buchwerke: Original-Bücher 1972 bis 1976 (Kunstraum München: 1976).
