Museum-kunst-palast, Düsseldorf 2007 ISBN 978-38321-9058-3〕 He is seen as one of the uncompromising representatives of the constructive-concrete art of the younger generation (since 1958). ==Life and Work== Gerhard von Graevenitz’ father was head of a district council (‘Landrat’). As the youngest of four brothers (he had a twin sister), he studied economics at the University of Frankfurt (1955–1956), and at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich (1956–1961). His professor there was Ernst Geitlinger. Together with Jürgen Morschel he edited the magazine nota, which appeared in four numbers (1959–1960) and was dedicated to international art and concrete poetry. Both started the gallery nota in Munich (1960/1961),〔nota – studentische Zeitschrift für bildende Kunst und Dichtung. Ed. by Gerhard von Graevenitz and Jürgen Morschel. München no. 1- 4, 1959-1961〕 showing solo-exhibitions of Otto Piene, Heinz Mack, Almir Mavignier and François Morellet. They organized lectures, e.g. by the information-theorist Max Bense. In 1961, von Graevenitz lived in Paris, where he was in contact with the Groupe de Recherche d’Art Visuel (GRAV) and shared a studio with Julio Le Parc. In 1962 he was co-founder of the international movement Nouvelle Tendance (new tendencies, Neue Tendenzen). Until the group’s break-up in 1965, he was one of the four organizers of the international group-shows, operating from Munich. The first solo-exhibition of his work was organized in 1962 at Gallery Roepcke in Wiesbaden. He participated in exhibitions such as “the Responsive Eye” (1965) MOMA, New York and “Licht-Kunst-Licht” (1966) at Van Abbemuseum /Eindhoven.〔KunstLichtKunst. Exhib. Cat. Stedelijk van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven 1966〕 In 1970 he settled in Amsterdam. In the 1970s, he repeatedly worked as an independent organizer and curator of exhibitions, such as for the Dutch Pavilion of the Venice Biennale (“To do with nature”, 1978 ), for the Kölnische Kunstverein (“Kunst < > Natur”, 1980 )〔kunst <>Natur. Exhib. Cat. Kölnischer Kunstverein. Köln 1980〕 and for the Hayward Gallery in London (1980, assisted by Norman Dilworth ) and the Kröller-Müller Museum in Otterlo (1980) : “pier + ocean, Reflections on Construction in the 70’s”.〔Pier + Ocean.Construction in the Art of the Seventies. Exhib. Cat. Hayward Gallery, London 1979, Rijksmuseum Kröller-Müller 1980. ISBN 0728702398 (9780728702394)〕 In 1976 he co-founded the Internationales Künstlergremium and worked for it as its vice-president in 1978/79. From 1979 on he was a member of the board of Stichting de Appel in Amsterdam. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gerhard von Graevenitz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
