Continue. Stucke aus den Jahren 1958 bis 1964.

Berlin.: Edition René Block., 1972. Contents loose as issued in original pale green linen-covered box, with printed label posted to lid.. Box (26.2 x 36 x 3.5 cm).. Collection of 72 sheets of black cardstock forming a file of ideas, with glued-down papers containing collage, montage, and 129 typed ""pieces"" by Arthur Köpcke, covering the years 1958-1964, each sheet of cardstock reading ""you can put each piece as a way of action for the rest of the pieces"" along the top edge. Published in a limited edition of 150 copies, numbered and signed by Köpcke to inside of lid. Each copy is slightly different due to the collage elements and the fact that some of the montaged paper elements include hand-colouring by the artist. A self-taught artist, Arthur Köpcke created works across a variety of media, including literature, painting, object art, conceptual art, and action art. Although he was influenced early on by surrealism, Dada, and futurism, Köpcke discovered a community of like-minded individuals in the International Fluxus movement and turned to making work based on everyday life, the media, and consumerism. He incorporated written elements into his collages and montages, and then read the texts and released recordings of the readings. In 1957, Köpcke opened a gallery in Copenhagen which focused on Fluxus and avant-garde art, and took on a key role in bringing Fluxus to Denmark and to all of Scandinavia.
