“In 1970 the Richard Demarco Gallery in collaboration with the Kunsthalle Düsseldorf organised the groundbreaking exhibition, Strategy: Get Arts. This celebration of art from Düsseldorf was held at the Edinburgh College of Art during the Edinburgh International Festival. Demarco visited West Germany in January 1970 and soon after plans were developed for the exhibition. He had been drawn to Düsseldorf as a number of artists he respected including Günther Uecker and Heinz Mack (who had exhibited at the Richard Demarco Gallery in 1966), Konrad Klapheck and Joseph Beuys were all living and working in the city. Demarco had first encountered Beuys at Documenta IV in Kassel in 1968. He wrote in the catalogue to Strategy: Get Arts of a simultaneously “most disturbing and most beautiful” memory of that exhibition. Düsseldorf had been dubbed the “Paris of the Rhine” by Time magazine and Karl Ruhrberg, Director of the Städtische Kunsthalle, Düsseldorf, wrote in the Strategy: Get Arts catalogue that the city had “never been as fresh and lively, as critical and restive as it is today.”
