Information

Acrylic and spray paint on chipboards. 40 × 32,2 × 10,8 cm (15 ¾ × 12 ⅝ × 4 ¼ in.). Stamped on the inside: Arbeitsgemeinschaft Retrograde Strategien. Der Grosse Rückbau. One of 300 numbered copies. In collaboration with the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Retrograde Strategien. Heilbronn, Kunstverein Heilbronn, 2006.

This series was created as part of Katharina Grosse's 2001 exhibition at Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin, for which she painted and sprayed both sides of a wall measuring 12,5 x 14,5 cm. After the exhibition, the wall was dismantled and sawn up by the Retrograde Strategies working group together with students from the Berlin-Weißensee Art Academy, then taken to the Heilbronner Kunstverein, where it was transformed by carpentry apprentices from the Johann-Jakob-Widmann School into multiples in the form of headrests and reading aids.
Condition Report: No. 208/300. Fine, harmonious overall appearance. Along the edges, isolated slight scuff marks with minor partial paint losses. At the right outer side (pink), two small drilling holes. On the reverse, a few small paint losses
