This is the first newsletter of Galerie van Gelder issued in the beginning of June 1992. It announces the gallery’s participation of Art Basel ’92, being a co-operation of five galleries. This was initiated by John M Armleder who also coined the name “Associated Publishers”. For that he designed a logo “AP” that was supposed to promote a co-operation of publishers in Geneva, Cologne, Amsterdam and New York. An edition “AP” was made by galerie van Gelder Editions on an enamel door plate. The image depicts the letters AP inside a tumbled zero.

The paintings of Kerry James Marshall are figurative accompanied with a rough-hewn painterly realism with elements of collage, words in lively and highly patchy settings. Images and verbal statements in which the viewer is addressed about the role of the African American in society.
The challenge for Black artists in general is trying to find a place for themselves in an aesthetic regime or aesthetic system, and a history that did not include them as participants in the formulation of its authorizing idea. Here we are operating within a class structure that large number of Black artists don’t come from. The challenge has been trying to figure out a way to get inside, but to come in with imagery that has Black subject matter or Black subjects by a person who is Black. People felt like that particular specificity set limitations on how people were able to perceive the work because there is the notion that the Black body can never really be a universal body. If you come with the Black body in a picture, then people automatically tend to limit their perception of it, believing it is only relevant to Black people. A remedy to that marginalization for African American artists who wanted to be seen as just artists and not ‘Black artists’ was to do abstract work. Kerry James Marshall, interview in Frame, 2019

This object out of the edition is one of the few larger objects consisting of a unique collage and a sheet of paper with a text written in felt pen ink. Each multiple came with a plastic shopping bag, hence three parts.
Jonathan Meese is known for ‘Repeating incantations aloud or holding up cardboard signs with formulas as if to invoke the gods and placate them. Consequently, Meese designed an amulet for texts on art. It is amazing how Meese’s artistic repertoire changes in these amulets entitled “Nabob to Nabob = D.A.F. (Humanity)” condensed. Announcement Texte zur Kunst, 2000.
The cardboard amulets are roughly held together by pieces of cardboard or wood and glue, which is reminiscent of Meese’s quickly built structures made of wooden sticks. The amulet also pushes his cult around the new wave band D.A.F. (German-American Friendship).
Half of the edition was published with collages, each made as a unique object. A part is dated 2001. The other half consisted of hexagonal hangers made of plexiglass with a portrait of one of the members of the Electropunk and cult band Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft.
