Hansjörg Mayer
Konkrete poesie international, 1965
13347-BK
19 x 19 in. (48.3 x 48.3 cm)
Stuttgart, Edition Hansjörg Mayer. Text sheet with foreword by Max Bense and 13 offset-lithographic plates. Sheets loose as issued in original cloth-backed portfolio with flaps. It was at the end of 1964 that Hansjörg Mayer, editor, typographer and artist, began to publish a series of concrete poetry portfolios, each produced in relatively small numbers (from 40 to 200 copies). The second of these portfolios “Konkrete poesie international†was published in 1965, in an edition of only 40 copies (this copy unnumbered). The portfolio reunites works by each of the major concrete poetry protagonists. Each of the 13 participating artists provides a single printed typographic work, each plate is signed on the verso by the artist in pen or pencil, either on the sheet itself, or on a gummed label. The wholly international outlook of the production means that the portfolio includes signed works by Carlo Belloli, Claus Bremer, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Pierre Garnier, Mathias Goeritz, Joselino Grünewald, Eugen Gomringer, Josef Hirsal, Dieter Roth, Vagn Steen, Paul de Vree, Emmett Williams, and Oswald Wiener.
