A propos de cet article

Heerlen, Amsterdam and Loenersloot: Cubic Construction Center, Stedelijk Museum and others, 1965-1971. Octavos (17.5 × 17.5 cm.) and calendar boards measuring 35 × 17.8 cm. Calendar boards somewhat toned, else good or better. William Graatsma and Gerrit Jan Slothouber had a formative influence on Dutch design in the post-war period. They first became known as designers for the Dutch chemical company DSM, for which they designed packaging, advertisements, and fonts, for example. Even then, they experimented with limiting themselves to the cube as a variable basic form. This concept aroused such interest that the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam organized an exhibition of their work in 1965 (the catalog is available here). Soon afterwards, they founded the "Cubic Construction Center" (CCC for short) in order to deepen their concept not only practically but also theoretically. For example, they studied Le Corbusier and the ideal basic dimension of 70 cm in order to develop variations of the basic module using preferably pure primary and secondary colors as well as transparent materials. The guiding principle for this project of strict limitation to the cube was the idea of using the economically simple and universally applicable cube to create an art form appropriate to the social requirements of a democratically organized industrial society. (Cf. Uta Römer, AKL LIX, 2008, p. 481.) The group contains the following objects: (a) Cubic calendar 1970, [1969]. With the months of the year screen-printed on 6 thick cardboard sheets in black and silver. To be mounted as a cube with folding lines. (b) Original paper sleeve with 6 colored cardboard plates for model construction. No year. (c) Vier kanten van het werk van Graatsma en Slothouber voor de staatsmijnen [Four sides of Graatsma and Slothouber's work for state mines: Exhibition catalog]. Amsterdam: Stedelijk Museum, 1965. Original printed self-wrappers; 38, [4] pp. with numerous illustrations and a color graphic. (d) Cubisch waarneembaar hexagon [Cubic observable hexagon]. Loenersloot: Galerie Mickery, 1969. Original pictorial folder; 8 silkscreens in black, white and gray as well as a printed glassine sheet. (e) Staatsmijnen DSM/Voorlichtingsdienst: Kubiese konstrukties + Strukturen 67 / DSM Design [State Mines DSM / Information Service: Cubic Constructions + Structures 67 / DSM Design.] Heerlen: DSM, 1967. Original pictorial folder; [24] pp. as unbound folded sections with numerous reproductions of showcase designs and other cubic constructions. (f) Centrum voor Cubische Constructies: Catalogus nr 1 [Center for Cubic Constructions: Catalog No.]. Heerlen: Cubic Construction Center, 1971. [16] pp. and in each case a printed glassine sheet at the beginning and at the end. With numerous illustrations. As of January 2025, KVK and OCLC show only two copies of (d) worldwide outside North America, only one copy of (e) worldwide outside North America and no copy of (f) in North America.…
