1969rif. 50211Amsterdam: Stedelijk Museum 1969. First edition. Near fine. Scarce catalogue of the 1969 exhibition of Arte Povera and Conceptual Art less known but as innovative and groundbreaking as the same year's more-mythologized "When Attitudes Become Form" and similarly an expression of its own curator's personality and vision. "Op Losse Schroeven" and "When Attitudes Become Form" were conceived planned and exhibited more or less concurrently but independently: Stedelijk Museum director de Wilde though supervising one curator and friendly with the other apparently shared no information in either direction despite considerable overlap in vision. If the curators were not well informed on their peer's progress those artists invited to participate in both exhibitions were: one of those artists Ger van Elk "made the curious suggestion that the physical similarity of the two men - each was solidly built bearded and bohemian in style - made it interesting for an artist to work with them both as their quickly staggered studio visits turned into a kind of performance; that of a curator chased by his doppelgänger" Rattemeyer. With work by Carl Andre Giovanni Anselmo Joseph Beuys Bill Bollinger Gerrit Dekker Barry Flanagan Bruce Nauman Richard Serra Robert Smithson Lawrence Weiner and others. 10.75'' x 8''. Original wrappers housing two bound portfolios designed by Wim Crouwel and Jolijn van de Wouw of Total Design Amsterdam. Text in Dutch and English. Illustrated in black and white. Printed on multi-colored paper. Light edgewear and soil to wrappers minor creasing to page edges. Stedelijk Museum unknown books
