As he did for his last Edition Taube book (the red-checked painting classic „“) this time Hank Schmidt in der Beek has put on again his most beautiful sweaters to paint. This time it is his Fürst Pückler sweater and he paints not outdoors, but indoors in his studio, where he pursued the following thought: Let’s assume that one would also put a beautiful strawberry-vanilla-chocolate Fürst-Pückler-Art blouse over Kazimir Malevich’s Black Square on a White Background. How would this small intervention at the much-invoked “zero point of art”, the nucleus between everything that has happened in the history of painting on this side and everything that has happened and will happen beyond it, affect the rest of art history? Hard to say. One has to try it out!

Hank has made a beginning in the closest environment of the “Black Square”—there in the eastern upper corner in 1915 where the constructi-vist painting set the main sails on its journey into the non-objective world: in the Malevich Room of the last Futurist exhibition of the Painting “0.10” in the Chudoschestwennoje bjuro in Petrograd.

We are pleased to publish the result as the new Edition Taube artists’ book: 26 Fürst Pückler paintings, which were initially exhibited in summer 2020 at Christine Mayer Gallery in Munich and from December 2021 to February 2022 at Kunstverein Braunschweig.
