Portrait des Kunsters als junger Bourgeois / Portrait of the Artist As a Young Bourgeois / Gerz, Jochen., 1968

 Item
Identifier: CC-27446-28494

It is also the cover design for Klaus-Peter Dencker's book, Text=Bilder Visuelle Poesie International. The inscription is written on the verso of the overlay of the photograph by Gerz. This photograph is designated as No.496 in Gerz's Catalogue Raisonne Volume III but mistakenly called a collage rather than photograph. Presumably, the original collage was either lost or destroyed. The book also depicts another similar collage with the same title that is also held by the Sackner Archive. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
