K.G. Hultén (ed.) & W. Sandberg - Bewogen Beweging - 1961

Exceptionally designed catalogue of a controversial exhibition on kinetic art.

Bewogen beweging - Ed. K.G. Hultén, W. Sandberg, D. Spoerri and J. Tinguely - Amsterdam / Stockholm, Stedelijk Museum and Moderna Museet, 1961 - 25, (7) pp. + leporello - Original paperback - long / thin folio format: 57 × 11 cm.

Condition: good. Cover is somewhat discoloured (as usual) and shows some signs of use (see photos). Interior is remarkably crisp.

The exhibition brought together artists working in kinetic art, performance, happenings and film, along with a host of ‘static’ works - some by artists linked to Neo-Dadaism, such as Robert Rauschenberg. The exhibition was described as the first ‘International Exhibition of Art in Motion’.

The exhibition catalogue published by the Stedelijk Museum is as striking as any of the works. The catalogue is unusually long and thin. The front cover features a print of Marcel Duchamp's ‘Bicycle Wheel’ from 1913, a work which was featured in the show.
