JANSSEN, Horst (1929-1995). Post scriptum. [Hamburg: Gallerie Brockstedt,] 1984.
14 prints (210 x 300 mm) printed in various tints on strong wove paper (290 x 385 mm), each print with the limitation (‘51/100’) and initialled (‘JH’) and dated (‘1984’) in pencil in the margin, each print window-mounted in card mats (337 x 417 mm). (The prints in fine condition.) Contemporary blue paper-covered box with black cloth spine, the front cover titled in black, probably in manuscript, probably by the artist (lower fore corner of front cover rubbed). Provenance: Anneliese and Paul Kerruth (inscription, probably in Janssen’s hand, on the front cover).
JANSSEN’S EXPLICIT EXPLORATION OF THE ASSOCIATIONS BETWEEN SEX AND DEATH: a theme that runs through Western culture from the biblical account of the Fall, when death came into the world and Adam and Even became aware of their nakedness, right through to Surrealism and other 20th-century movements, via the springboard of Freud’s theories of the unconscious. One of 100 copies only, this one number 51.
