Op Losse Schroeven: Situaties en Cryptostructuren, Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (1969), edited by Wim A.L. Beeren & Jolijn van de Wouw, Softcover, 64 pages, 27.5 × 21 cm, Condition (Very Good)
Catalogue for the 1969 exhibition Op Losse Schroeven: Situaties en Cryptostructuren at the Stedelijk Museum, a pivotal moment in the institutional recognition of Conceptual and Arte Povera art. Curated by Wim Beeren and designed by Wim Crouwel, the publication reflects the experimental nature of the show, which featured site-specific and process-based works by artists such as Jan Dibbets, Marinus Boezem, Michael Heizer, and Lawrence Weiner.
Printed in Dutch and English, the catalogue includes curatorial texts, artist contributions, floor plans, installation photography, and documentation of works that existed only temporarily within the museum space. At a time when such practices were still emerging, the publication served as a serious critical record rather than a promotional piece—foregrounding the exhibition as a form in itself. It remains a key reference for the study of postwar European avant-garde and museum-based conceptualism.
