{"title":"ZERO Movement","description":"\u003cp\u003eZERO was an international avant-garde movement founded in Düsseldorf in 1957 by Heinz Mack and Otto Piene, later joined by Günther Uecker. Operating across Germany, the Netherlands, France, Italy, and beyond, ZERO artists sought to move beyond the gestural painting of the postwar period toward light, vibration, space, and elemental material. Key figures include Bernard Aubertin, Yves Klein, Lucio Fontana, Jan Schoonhoven, Nul group members, and many others working in parallel across Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe movement dissolved formally around 1966 but its influence extended through monochrome painting, kinetic art, and conceptual practice into the following decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExhibition ephemera, printed matter, and related documents from The New Rare.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"bernard-aubertin-le-feu-de-la-couleur-espace-de-lart-concret-1994","title":"Bernard Aubertin — Le feu de la couleur, Espace de l’Art Concret, Château de Mouans, 1994","description":"\u003cp\u003eExhibition invitation card\u003cbr\u003eEspace de l’Art Concret, Château de Mouans, Mouans-Sartoux\u003cbr\u003e3 July – 20 November 1994\u003cbr\u003e10 × 20.5 cm · Offset print on card stock\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e good vintage condition.

Only a name, a date, a gallery, a city. The invitation functions almost as an administrative monochrome: red text on cream paper, reduced to the minimum information required for an exhibition to occur. The handmade-style paper and letterpress-like red typography give the card a fine-press quality, placing it closer to a small printed object than a disposable gallery notice. Red becomes both information and field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy 1977, Aubertin’s work was already established within the broader history of European monochrome, post-minimal, and ZERO-related practice — in dialogue with Yves Klein, Otto Piene, and the wider postwar movement toward reduction as both image and event.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRebus Gallery material appears infrequently on the secondary market, and Aubertin ephemera from the 1970s surfaces far less often than later catalogues and publications.
