Rückriem (b. 1938) is one of the central figures of post-Minimal and Conceptual sculpture, known for his precisely split and reassembled stone and steel works. Items here document exhibitions at Kunstraum München and other venues, preserving the printed infrastructure surrounding Rückriem’s early and mid-career practice.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"ulrich-ruckriem-erganzungsstucke-kunstraum-munchen-1974","title":"Ulrich Rückriem — Ergänzungsstücke, Kunstraum München e.V., 1974","description":"\u003cp\u003e14.5 × 20.5 cm. 10 pages, stapled.

The six exhibited works include forged steel bars (Galerio Paul Maenz, Köln), a found steel ring completed into a disc, and a found steel plate (Dr. Heiner Oettli, Fislisbach) completed into a rectangle. Produced just before his international breakthrough, the guide captures a formative moment in post-Minimal and Conceptual sculpture when process, material, and site became inseparable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRather than functioning solely as documentation, the booklet records the exhibition as a spatial proposition.
