Notes
Physical copy in the collection. Purchased 2026-07-10 on AbeBooks (order 769994534, hwv-aq), $90.98 landed ($88.32 + $2.66 ship). Exhibition catalogue, Institut fuer moderne Kunst Nuernberg, 4 April - 12 May 1968 (ed. Thomas Lehner; introduction by Dietrich Mahlow) -- a survey from collage to assemblage (Schwitters, Ernst, Moholy-Nagy, Heartfield, Tinguely, Arman, Spoerri, Christo, Cesar, Vostell and others). Of note for this collection: a 'Computergrafik' section placed under 'Kontrastmethoden' (contrast methods to collage), quoting Otto Beckmann and stating that the first computer graphics in Germany were made in 1963 by Frieder Nake (Recheninstitut, Stuttgart) and Georg Nees (misprinted 'Mees'; Rechenzentrum der Siemens-Schuckert-Werke, Erlangen) -- an unusually early (1968) inclusion of computer art in a mainstream exhibition. Owner's physical copy.
