POSENENSKE, Charlotte
The same but different / Dasselbe anders

Charlotte Posenenske began working from the early 1950s as an artist and designer. During the 1960s she developed a seminal body of constructivist related drawings, sculptures and sculptural installations that heralded, along with artists such as Donald Judd, the development of minimalism. Her development as an artist followed a logical progression and after an intense period of work, she felt that she could take this trajectory no further and, in 1968, stopped making art altogether to work as a sociologist.

This publication documents two key exhibitions which ran concurrently at John Hansard Gallery, (Southampton, UK) and Konrad Fischer Galerie, (Dusseldorf, Germany) – with reproductions of the iconic “square tube” series, as well as of reliefs and works on paper. It comprises essays by Jessica Morgan, Astrid Wege, Burkhard Brunn. [publishers’ note]
