- Construction drawing for one of Palermo's famous murals. - Executed as a mural in emulsion paint over a width of 10 meters at Galerie Konrad Fischer, Düsseldorf, on the occasion of the exhibition "Palermo. Treppenhaus" (April 7 - September 2. 1970). - Almost all of Palermo's legendary minimalist murals no longer exist and are only documented by drawings and photographic material. - Outstanding testimony to Palermo's quest to trangress the boundaries of painting: The gallery became a real pictorial space through the spatial dissolution of the color.
