Riguardo questo articolo

Portfolio by the German-Dutch artist Ewerdt Hilgemann, who is particularly known for his so-called implosions of the 1980s - the artist slowly pulls the air out of geometrically pure stainless steel forms with a vacuum pump, putting the natural atmospheric pressure to sculptural use and collapsing the forms into their final shape. HilgemannÕs earlier work of the 1960s and 1970s deals similarly with aspects of surface textures, with relief panels and prints simiilar in style to Schoonhoven, experimenting with subtle, white wooden wall pieces catching the angled light. Hilgemann showed his work at the ŌSerielle FormationenÕ (ŌSerial FormationsÕ) exhibition, jointly curated by Peter Roehr and Paul Maenz for the Frankfurter Universit tÕs studio gallery in 1967. This series of five embossed prints is a prime example of HilgemannÕs Minimalist style, and was published in an edition of 50 numbered copies, with each of the five prints numbered, dated and signed by Hilgemann in pencil on versos. Colophon sheet + five original embossed prints. Loose as issued in original white card folder, with embossed title on front cover. Housed in black cloth-covered folder with flaps. Some browning to plates, especially along sheet edge.
