[USSR: Catalogue of the Soviet Pavilion at the International Pressa Exhibition]. Katalog des Sowjet-Pavillons auf der Internationalen Presse-Ausstellung Koln, 1928. – Cologne: Dumont Schauberg, 1928.
With full 2-meter folding plate of panoramic photomontage. In German.
The constructivism of the 1920s. The International Exhibition Press in Cologne in 1928 was held in the capital Pavilion of States – the USSR did not build a temporary pavilion at that time. It was decided to invite the artists Lissitzky and Rabinovich to decorate the exposition. Lissitzky succeeded in radically transforming the pseudo-classical facade of the building by placing three-dimensional letters USSR glowing at night in each of the four arches. The exhibits were dominated by constructions “specially composed by the artist”, original mechanical attractions: “Star”, “Working Correspondent”, “Red Army”, “Transmission”. SKUMS000091
