Photography Höke, Bernard A collection of 38 black-and-white and 2 color photographs, as well as 17 contact prints—some by well-known photographers—documenting the performance artist’s work in the 1960s and 1970s. Dimensions range from approx. 6 x 6 to 27 x 13.5 cm. Loose in a paper box with 2 mounted lid labels reading “Cosmic Theatre / Club of Rhein Main / Ewiger Atem.” An interesting document of the Berlin and Frankfurt performance scenes of the 1960s and 1970s. The photographs depict happenings, performances, and actions, including 4 images from the performance *Ereignisse aus Schaustücken*—featuring plastic objects and the elements of fire, air, water, and earth—with which Höke made his debut at the Berlin Academy of Arts in 1967. In 1969, Höke caused quite a stir with his “Art Disposal Machine” at the Cologne Art Market, and he participated in the exhibition “35 Artists in Frankfurt” with nine works—though they were invisible. Among the photographers in this collection: Jochen Littkemann (4), Berlin; Koch, Berlin (4); Klimesch, Braunschweig (3); Frank Roland-Beeneken, Berlin (4); Jürgen Graaff, Berlin (5). - Slightly wavy; crease marks or minor edge discoloration in places; some minor surface damage. - Enclosed: A handwritten, corrected flyer from the Sri Aurobindo Society on the future of the home and housing. - A typewritten manuscript of slightly more than one page on the “Paradise Movement.” - Two pasted-in leaflets from the tenants’ initiative against the destruction of housing in Oberursel, dated 1974. - The “Information Brochure on the Center for Future Studies, Berlin, 1968.” With handwritten corrections in green ink.
