RICHARD MORTENSEN
Der fünfte Gesang. Mit einem Vorwort von Albrecht Fabri. Paris: Edition Denise René / Cologne: Galerie der Spiegel 1960. 39 x 57,5 cm. Includes 25 multicoloured silkscreen prints by R. Mortensen, each signed and numbered. 1 double-page spread featuring the title and introduction, 1 double-page spread featuring the colophon. Loose sheets in a cardboard cover inside a hand-painted linen case (presumably a prototype for the original case).
(The case is slightly dusty; the hinge is broken. Some of the pages have faint smudges.)
No. 54 of 40 copies (numbered 36–75; total print run of 75). Contrary to the printer’s mark, all pages here—as with numbers 26–35—are signed, not just the printer’s mark.
