This early publication from 1968 already reveals the breadth and wit of this approach, skillfully staging a sort of post-mortem catalogue of the artist through collages, typed texts (including a psychological text he composed), stickers, exhibition leaflets, and other ephemera. Among the papers gathered in this opuscule is also a death certificate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor Ulrichs, life and art are inseparable, each constantly folding into the other: “Art is life, life is art,” reads one of the posters included in this assemblage. Self-proclaimed a total artist, Ulrichs made mortality a recurring subject of his practice, producing gravestones, funerary monuments, and other works that confront the rituals and symbolism of death. One of these bears the inscription: “Always remember to forget me.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Metabooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54639464415571,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1068\/8898\/6963\/files\/DSC4505.png?v=1787232881","url":"https:\/\/metabooks.art\/products\/qwertzuiopu","provider":"Metabooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
