From his earliest sets of prints, Max Klinger (1857–1920) showed a strong interest in this medium, which he dubbed “Griffelkunst”, or “stylus art.” This wanted catalogue has been sold out for a long time.

Uncommon signature put straight into the image of the print, by which the artist’s name creates much more depth to the depicted firmament. It functions as a repoussoir.

“Bracket” is about a choreography for cats that comes in from the right and leaves the stage at the left. The second Act is executed the other way around. The structure of this choreography is apparently based on angle brackets often used in mathematics, denoting some form of grouping.

inv.BVau 1020
These two loose cards come from an envelope that contains five contributions of Ben Vautier, George Brecht, Gerhard von Graevenitz and François Morellet. The envelope was part of “TOEVAL”, a ring binder produced on behalf of a symposium. A fifth contribution consists of two dices with a Mozart score. It is published as examples of chance, but may be considered as an artist’s edition since the ideas and instructions come straight from the artists. It is not known if all loose contributions by various artists (e.g. “Chance Imagery” of George Brecht) have been added to the complete edition of 2000 copies.
A copy is in the collection of the Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, The Netherlands.
‘Actually it is not a catalogue but an artist’s book, with mostly original contributions by artists. That Morellet sheet – translucent paper – is usually signed.’
