Pop Art – Lechleiter G 1969.8. - Eines von 11 Exemplaren. - Gedruckt bei Birkle + Thomer, Berlin. - Hg. Kunstverein Ulm, 1969. - Die weiblichen Figuren der frühen Komposition der "Schwestern" von Werner Berges erscheinen als flächig reduzierte Silhouetten, deren klare Konturen und kräftige Farben sich an der Bildsprache von Werbung und Grafik orientieren. Durch das serielle Moment und die abstrahierte Darstellung verwandelt Berges das Thema Geschwisterlichkeit in ein visuelles Zeichen.

Excellent impression without margins. - Lechleiter G 1969.8. - One of 11 copies. - Ed. Kunstverein Ulm, 1969. - The female figures in Werner Berges' early composition "Schwestern" appear as flat, reduced silhouettes whose clear contours and strong colours are based on the visual language of advertising and graphics.
