kunibert fritz—prototypes and dyptichs

unfolding the printed invitation to kunibert fritz’ exhibition at editon & galerie hoffmann in 1989/90 is an experience of what one is going to read. wolfgang schmidt placed—what eugen gomringer in his exhibition text calls—a “limiting element” on the left side of the invitation. in the manner of kunibert fritz’ early prototype canvases on view then and virtually here, the element is to highlight a perceptual necessity and field of experimentation for concrete art: a figure-ground organization.
