Produced on the occasion of Gerhard Rühm’s exhibition Liederbilder Klangkörper Scherenschnitte at
Galerie beim Steinernen Kreuz Brigitte Seinsoth, Bremen, 19 May–26 June, 1992.

Gerhard Rühm is noted for his work in acoustic art, including sound poetry, spoken word, and photomontage. In the early 1950s he developed a body of work, crossing the boundaries between many different mediums. He also experimented in drawing, visual poetry, and photomontage, using such diverse techniques as overpainting (l’essentiel de la grammaire [The Essentials of Grammar], 1962) and collage (Typocollagen [Type Collage], 1955–1963).
