Recently rediscovered Danish artist Poul Gernes (1925–1996), was little known beyond his home country until up to the 1980s. This certainly changed by the time his flags were shown at the documenta 12 – by invitation of Cosima von Bonin. However, a range of young artists had already modelled on his room design for a while. This is due to the fact that Poul Gernes pioneered in designing public and private buildings and this way added color to the cities long time before public art became popular. Amongst room presentations his work embraces series of pictures with magnificent colored patterns, letters and flower sequences which are thoroughly documented in the magazine, following Gernes’ understanding of design.
The only existing print of a lithography by the artist from 1964 serves as a sample for the cover.
