About This Item
16 black & white illus. [32] pp. 4to, printed covers & pictorial dust-jacket. Vienna: Galerie Peter Pakesch, 1987.
A fine example of this catalogue's first version. Kippenberger (1953-97) thought the printing was too dark and withdrew this version shortly after its publication (full explanation by Koch below).
"[The catalogue] contains the first half of a conversation between Joachim Lottmann (questions) and Michael Krebber (answers) about Martin Kippenberger, continued in Die Reise nach Jerusalem [Going to Jerusalem]. The illustration section shows 14 sculptures from the year 1987.
"There are two versions of this catalogue: Peter 2, which was withdrawn shortly after publication because Kippenberger found the printing too dark, and the adjusted reprint, Peter 2-II, which was given a new dustjacket featuring Kippenberger's handwritten corrections. However, the second edition seems rather too pale, since it was simply printed using less black instead of using new setting copies."-Koch.
In fine condition; the faintest shelfwear to the dust-jacket.
