Children's Star Mappenwerke und Illustrierte Bücher

• Extremely rare as a complete folder • Contains the sought-after print ‘Concentric Man’ by Keith Haring • An important historical document of 1980s art The ‘Kinderstern’ folder brings together the most significant artistic movements of the late 1980s in a concise compendium, thereby constituting an important historical document. The folder’s compilation is characterised by a global, transatlantic dialogue: in a limited edition of just 100 numbered and signed copies, radically different aesthetic concepts collide, realised to the highest technical standard as silkscreen prints and collotype prints by the long-established Domberger screen-printing workshop in 1989. Pop and street art are represented by Keith Haring’s globally sought-after print ‘Concentric Man’. It brings the dynamic, unmistakable spirit of New York’s subculture to the edition. The contributions by Heinz Mack and Günther Uecker represent the explorations of light and structure by the German post-war avant-garde, featuring Zero and Kinetic Art. Conceptual art and Minimal Art are represented by Sol LeWitt and Imi Knoebel, whilst the Neue Wilde and their Neo-Expressionism are represented by Elvira Bach and Jörg Immendorff. Alongside major figures from Western Europe and the US such as Christo, Richard Estes and Pierre Soulages, the folder also offers a glimpse into the era of political upheaval in Eastern Europe through artists such as Erik Bulatov and Georgy Litichevsky. Initiated by Michael Domberger and closely linked to the artist Imi Knoebel – who designed the iconic, irregularly shaped red ‘Kinderstern’ as a symbol of children’s rights – the portfolio brings together 22 original prints by internationally pioneering figures in the contemporary art of the 1980s. | Zeitgenössische Kunst | Druckgrafik | Nummer: 25x1847 | Provenance: Galerie & Edition Domberger, Filderstadt; Privatbesitz, Nordrhein-Westfalen, bei Vorgenannter erworben.
