Verlag Kalender, the Wuppertal-based imprint founded and run by Bernd Ebeling and Hansjoachim Dietrich is now mostly remembered for the two landmark series of Kalenderrolle, (published in November 1961 and June 1962), and also for being the organisation behind the legendary Internationale Manuskriptaustellung Konkrete Poesie of 1961 in Wuppertal. But preceding all this, the first proposed exhibitions held by the Kalender group in November / December of 1960 were a series of what were to be titled ‘Karogramm’ exhibitions. Presented here are a group of original printed flyers for these shows (it is unknown if the exhibitions ever took place). The exhibitions appear to have been themed around the varying physical characteristics of objects: metal, paper, wood, plastics, or fabric. Each of the flyers is printed with the… Read More

In December of 1976 Kippenberger moved to Florence, where he lived during the next several months while producing his first complete series of paintings, ‘Uno di voi, un Tedesco in Firenze’. It is his first work that resulted from sustained reflection on what it meant to fully immerse himself within an untested place and culture. During his residency in Florence, Kippenberger participated in the artistic scene centred around the Renaissance Villa Romana, on the outskirts of the city. The Villa Romana Prize was initiated in order to offer an opportunity to talented, primarily younger artists resident in Germany to further develop their artistic position during a prolonged stay in Florence. Each year, a catalogue was produced to celebrate the winners of the prize. This catalogue of the 1977 prize (which was won by Jakob Mattner, Anna Oppermann,… Read More
