{"product_id":"interfunktionen-no-12-various-artists","title":"Interfunktionen No. 12 - Various Artists","description":"\u003cp\u003eA cover print from the influential 1975 art journal Interfunktionen, documenting the conceptual art movement through its editorial design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInterfunktionen was a German art journal published in Cologne between 1968 and 1975, edited by Benjamin H.D. Buchloh. This cover for the twelfth issue represents the journal's role as a platform for the dissemination of conceptual art, performance documentation, and critical theory. The publication functioned as a site for artists to present their work directly, bypassing traditional gallery spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cover design features a monochromatic, layered aesthetic typical of the period's avant-garde graphic output. It incorporates a central vertical band containing the table of contents, which lists contributors such as Daniel Buren, Carl Andre, Hollis Frampton, and Anselm Kiefer. The typography is utilitarian, reflecting the journal's focus on the intellectual content of the contributions rather than decorative presentation. The background image, a photograph of a figure holding a stack of plates, introduces a sense of performance and domestic absurdity, contrasting with the rigorous theoretical texts contained within the issue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print captures the intersection of art, publishing, and institutional critique. It documents a specific moment in the 1970s when artists sought to redefine the relationship between the art object and the viewer through printed media. The journal served as an archive for ephemeral practices, including film scripts, dialogues, and photographic documentation of performances. By presenting this cover as a fine art print, one engages with the history of the artist-run publication and the shift towards conceptualism in European art circles. The design is stark, functional, and reflective of the editorial rigour that defined Buchloh's project. It remains a primary source for understanding the discourse surrounding minimalism, conceptualism, and the critique of the art institution during the mid-1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/squiggly-brushstrokes-olive-sol-lewitt\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eSquiggly Brushstrokes (Olive) - Sol LeWitt — Sol LeWitt\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Various Artists","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58479786426703,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58479807922511,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58479807955279,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58479807988047,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58479808020815,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58479808053583,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58479808086351,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58479808119119,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58479808151887,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58479808184655,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58479808217423,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58479808250191,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Interfunktionen-No_Poster_CompositorV1_1786343181677.jpg?v=1786762124","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/interfunktionen-no-12-various-artists","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
