Artwork #7: Techne 1957-1999


Crafted by Martin Reiter 1995, this work has been stranded in Vienna for quite a while ... (i've been storing it for 6 years now).

So, if we could find a fit new owner - who must be ready to bid 1.500,- or more - this would be great!

Martin Reiter is currently managing, or "chaospiloting" Kunsthaus Tacheles in Berlin. He's involved in "old and new media" art since the 1980s.
