The card announces the artist’s presence at the opening and notes that a catalogue would be available through the gallery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is no image, no reproduction, no attempt to explain the work. 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. A retained exhibition object from a specific event in Florence, never intended to survive beyond its immediate function.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShipping and handling included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The New Rare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595811283282,"sku":"AUBERTIN-REBUS-INV-1977","price":100.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/5636\/1554\/files\/Aubertin_Bernard._Show_invite._1977.jpg?v=1780031876","url":"https:\/\/thenewrare.com\/products\/bernard-aubertin-rebus-galleria-florence-1977","provider":"The New Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
