ZERO (Otto PIENE & Heinz MACK eds.)

Zero. Nr. 3
[1961]
€300 - €500

20 x 21 cm. The final issue of this influential Artist Magazine. It chronicles Jean Tinguely's 'Homage to New York', and includes a reprint of the front page of Yves Klein's self-published broadsheet 'Dimanche'. Of note in the issue are the various artist's interventions: KLEIN publishes one article that ends midsentence where the page is burnt, and another that ceases with the page being torn. TINGUELY has pasted a sunflower seed to the final page, and encourages the reader to plant it in the soil. DANIEL SPOERRI's match is also stuck to this final page, accompanied by pyromaniac instructions to burn the entire magazine. The magazine's final pages count down from 10 to 1, and end with the word 'zero' pictured as a rocket blasting off. Ms. ex dono on title-page. Black cover, some traces of use
