Arthur Köpcke

Arthur Köpcke (Born 1928 in Hamburg - Died 1977 in Copenhagen), also known as Arthur Køpcke, was a German-born artist[1] known for his contributions to the first generation of Fluxus.

Köpcke’s work includes paintings, scrolls, literary works, objects, collages, assemblies and Fluxus boxes.

Up until the mid-60s, Köpcke participated in most of the main Fluxus festivals in Europe (Paris, Düsseldorf, Amsterdam, Scheveningen, Aachen etc.).

[3] He settled in Copenhagen at the end of 1957 where he founded Gallery Köpcke, with his Danish wife, Aase ("Tut").

The gallery became a contact point for the international avant-garde movements of Nouveau Realisme and Fluxus in Denmark.
