THE STORY OF THE FOUNDATION
1969-1970 A SOLO SHOW IN NORTHERN EUROPE
Over the course of these two years the first solo travelling show was held in international institutions in Eindhoven, Mönchengladbach, Hanover and Amsterdam.
The exhibition that featured around eighty works, was staged at the Stedelijk Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven and then at the Städtisches Museum Mönchengladbach, the Kunstverein in Hanover and the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam. Four different versions of the catalogue were produced, with a critical text by Udo Kultermann and a number of the artist’s writings translated into Dutch and German (“Free Dimension” and “Some Creations - Some Experiments - Some Projects”).
