Description: A color hard-edge composition created especially for the Stedelijk Museum’s iconic portfolio designed by Wim Crouwel and printed by Total Design, Amsterdam. Georg Karl Pfahler was the leading German exponent of hard-edge painting, whose vibrant “Formativ” compositions with interlocking color planes make him a key figure in postwar European color abstraction; he represented Germany at the Venice Biennale in 1970. The portfolio gathered original screenprints by Kelly, Bonies, Pfahler and Turnbull, alongside a panorama of contemporary abstraction (Albers, Newman, Stella, Judd, Vasarely, Noland and others).
