The publication follows the artist through a vocabulary of standing, measuring, waiting, touching, carrying and containing. The body appears not as portrait or expressive subject, but as a practical instrument through which time, distance, gravity and spatial relationships can be tested.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy the beginning of the 1970s, Rinke had moved away from painting and conventional sculpture toward actions recorded through photography. Time became an additional sculptural dimension, while repeated bodily gestures supplied a direct and legible system of measurement. This approach placed him within the emerging fields of Conceptual Art, performance and process-based practice while retaining a distinctly physical relationship to matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe publication exceeds the supporting role of an exhibition catalogue. Photographic sequences, repeated poses, water containers, clocks and empty architectural spaces are organised into a sustained visual structure. Action becomes image; duration becomes sequence; the temporary encounter between body and space returns as a portable printed object.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts bright green cover, frontal portrait and bilingual block typography give the book an unusually immediate identity. The reverse repeats the portrait from behind, turning the covers into two opposing views of the same body and establishing the book itself as another spatial interval.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSecurely packed; tracked UK and international shipping available.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DuMont Schauberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54126368325970,"sku":"RINKE-DUMONT-ZEITRAUMKORPER-1972","price":125.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/5636\/1554\/files\/Rinke_-Klaus.-Zeit_-Raum_-Korper_-Handlungen-_Time_-Space_-Body_-Transformations.jpg?v=1785279735"},{"product_id":"saldo-23-jahre-rinke-klasse-1974-1997-kunstmuseum-dusseldorf-1997","title":"KLAUS RINKE \/ RINKE KLASSE: Saldo, 23 Jahre Rinke Klasse 1974–1997, Kunstmuseum Düsseldorf \/ Salon Verlag, Cologne, 1997","description":"\u003cp\u003eExhibition catalogue, Kunstmuseum Düsseldorf im Ehrenhof \/ Salon Verlag, Cologne, 1997.

Rather than functioning as a conventional Rinke monograph, Saldo records the artists, working conditions and exchanges that developed around his class between 1974 and 1997.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book combines portraits, student works, performances, installations, studio activity and informal documentation. Former students represented include Reinhard Mucha, Volker Tannert and Gert Kampendonk, alongside a much wider network of artists whose practices resist any single identifiable “class style.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts title — Saldo, or balance — positions the publication as an account of an educational structure rather than a celebration of one author. Rinke appears as teacher, organiser and participant, but the visual record is repeatedly redistributed among the members of the class. Individual works become part of a larger history of teaching, proximity and institutional formation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe design reinforces this collective structure. A portrait is partially obscured by the repeated word SALDO, while the pale reverse carries the typewritten statement \u003cem\u003eheute ist heute\u003c\/em\u003e — “today is today.” Across more than four hundred pages, the catalogue operates as a dense photographic archive of an art class understood as a temporary social and productive system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSecurely packed; tracked UK and international shipping available.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Salon Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54126440415570,"sku":"RINKE-SALDO-KUNSTMUSEUMDUESSELDORF-1997","price":75.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/5636\/1554\/files\/Saldo.-Saldo-23-Jahre-Rinke-Klasse-1974---1997-_Exhibition-catalogue_--cover.jpg?v=1785284147"}],"url":"https:\/\/thenewrare.com\/collections\/klaus-rinke.oembed","provider":"The New Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
