The Wide White Space Gallery was founded by Anny De Decker and Bernd Lohaus, a former student of Joseph Beuys, in Antwerp in 1966 and was managed by them both until it closed in 1976. Through its close collaboration with such artists as Beuys, Marcel Broodthaers, Lawrence Weiner, Carl Andre, Daniel Buren and Panamarenko, the Wide White Space Gallery became one of Europe's leading avant-garde galleries within the short space of ten years.
This publication gives a complete account of the Wide White Space exhibitions and, as such, constitutes an historical survey of contemporary art with special reference to its reception. It lists all the works shown at each exhibition, with all relevant particulars, and also supplements this information with, amongst other things, references to contemporary reviews, details, illustrations of the invitation cards or posters and photos of the exhibition openings.
Next to insightful interviews with the gallery owners, friendly artists, curators and collectors this publication also contains more than 50 coloured illustrations of exhibited works.
