I have already told you about the latest offer I have received for the multiple by Günther Uecker: 4 editions of “Plages” to choose one from (→ read the story here). After overcoming my reluctance to part with the Uecker, I have notified the collector in question (who wishes to remain anonymous) that I would in fact trade for two of the issues, No. 81 and No. 112.

After some back and forth and after overcoming even more reluctance, the offering collector agreed to the trade. So after just five and something months, the Collectors’ Duel sees its second trade!

After living with the Uecker multiple for a while, I’m now very eager to get my hands on those magazines, as what I have seen in pictures and after actually touching another issue really inspired me. And it fits better with my collection, as I have decided to move a bit more into the direction of art that has to with literature and printed paper. Not a new dogma, but I really want to actively explore this angle. A decision that was in part inspired by this trade. So: Thank you!

And you know what?

You are actually one of the two people who participated in the duel! Because after this post, the duel as such will be prematurely terminated. So your’s is the last trade in the Collectors’ Duel!

What lead to the decision and why you can still make offers … will be revealed in the next post! (It’s called a cliffhanger, I’m told.)
