CHARGESHEIMER (KARL HEINZ HARGESHEIMER)
lichtgrafik. monoskripturen. (Köln/Paris): Christophe Czwiklitzer 1961. 49,3 x 39,8 cm (39,5 x 29,8 cm to 41,5 x 30 cm). Album containing 10 unique photographic works (monoscripts), gelatin-silver prints on photographic paper. Each mounted under a mat (previous mounting removed), monogrammed and dated on the front in black ink (one print in white) (one print signed), and signed, dated, and labeled in blue ink on the back. 6 pages: title page, facsimile preface, and colophon. Black original half-linen edition with an illustration on the cover and the title on the spine
(Slightly rubbed, corners bumped, small pressure marks and scratches on the front cover, back cover stained, spine with minor defects in the binding. Mounting loose; the prints lie loosely within the heavily stained mat boards. The backs of the passe-partouts are browned; the outer corners are bumped. The prints show mounting marks on the reverse, with corners that are rubbed, raised, or have slight crease marks; they have light edges, occasional crease marks, and minor pressure damage. Two prints have blistering on the image surface. The print “Kosmogen” is on thinner, matte Agfa paper. The print “Szenarium” has a tear backed with paper in the upper right corner. Four prints have minor staining on the reverse, one of which is more heavily stained. The text sheets are browned at the edges and show age spots.)
Copy 5 of 25 ( CE 30). - Additionally signed by the artist and publisher in the colophon. - With a foreword by Christophe Czwiklitzer and a text by Hubert Berke. - “The light prints are monotypes, meaning they exist as single copies. The process of their creation is the artist’s secret. Even the chemical formula or an academic explanation would be of little use, for ultimately this remains a creative act” (Foreword by Czwiklitzer).
