Junger Kunstkreis Fulda. Aufbruch in die Nachkriegsmoderne
Setting out for Postwar Modernism. Franz Erhard Walther's Turn towards the 1960s Avant-Garde
From 1958 to 1973 the Junge Kunstkreis Fulda (JUKU, engl.: Young Art Circle of Fulda) was intensively engaged with post-war modernist art. With its mentor Karlfried Staubach almost a hundred exhibitions were carried out that not only enriched the cultural life of Fulda but shook it up on many occasions.
This volume deals not with the reconstruction of regional art and cultural history but rather with the rediscovery of an episode in German post-war art. By way of example are Franz Erhard Walther and Verena Pfisterer, who continued their artistic genesis in JUKU as contemporaries of Beuys, Richter and others at the Düsseldorf Art Academy.
The graphic prints published to finance the JUKU gallery, and the exhibition catalogues, designed too with the groups own print works, are shown in full for the very first time.
