The poem is taken from Thomas Bernhard's "Gessamalte Gedichte" published by Volker Bohn, Frankfurt 1991. The calligraphy, design and drawings were done by Klaus Zylla. The book was published in 1994 but assembled in 1997 for the Sackner Archive as indicated by Zylla's dating of his signature on the colophon, the six drawings specially done for this copy, and the special inscription in black paint for the slipcase. Since the colophon does not mention drawings, this is probably a unique copy. The poems are mainly written in a thick black painted, neo-expressionist calligraphic style which accompany neo-expressionistic, large, line drawings of human-like, grotesque figures. The drawings that depict neo-expressionistic, human like creatures and calligraphic poetry are rendered in chalk, pastels, white ink, and gouache. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
