Issued for Thomas Rentmeister’s solo exhibition at the Centre d’art contemporain de Vassivière en Limousin, held from 26 April – 29 June 1997. The exhibition occupied the institution’s main nave and study spaces and reproduces Untitled (Sans titre) (1997), a polyester sculpture measuring 38 × 124 × 97 cm.

Produced during Rentmeister’s early sculptural period, the reproduced work belongs to a group of highly polished synthetic forms positioned between industrial finish and organic association. The object precedes later installations employing supermarket and domestic materials, but already introduces a movement between Minimalist surface logic and softer bodily or material references.

The invitation remains as a secondary exhibition object: notice, image support, and retained document from an early point within Rentmeister’s practice.
