Artist Carl Andre sent us the following statement about his catalogue for Johannes Cladders:
“The Box/Announcement for my 1968 Mönchengladbach show was entirely the brainchild of Dr. Johannes Cladders…. I hated it. I could not convince Dr. Cladders to withdraw it. So I insisted on writing a text, in the form of a dialogue with myself… My text is the only element of the box having any bearing on my work. Aside from his pet box, I have only the greatest admiration for Dr. Cladders. The boxes he made for other artists’ shows tended to be quite useful for understanding their art.”
These are some of the 33 “Kassettenkataloges” (“Box catalogues”) made by Dr. Joseph Cladders from 1967 to 1978 for exhibitions at the Städtisches Museum Abteiberg in Mönchengladbach, Germany.
Beuys was the first of these one-man shows. Cladders and Joseph Beuys collaborated on all aspects of this show. Instead of a traditional catalogue, they chose a cardboard box—a common object whose contents could easily change with each show. It became the standard for all future projects. The boxes were produced in a numbered edition and sold, rather than given away. For the first exhibition, 330 were made and they sold out quickly. Jasper Johns’s box was produced in an edition of 550 and also sold out. Many of these boxes are quite rare today.
