Henri Schram
paintings, serigraphies, sculptures, etc.

In summer 1972, students squatted the vacant house No. 286 in Düsseldorf's Grafenberger Allee and the owning company, if I remember well, Haniel & Lueg or might be “Neuen Heimat”, agreed to rent it for the purpose of living for a limited period. A residential community, that consisted almost exclusively of students from the Art Academy Düsseldorf, formed itself. The Grafenberger Allee 286 became a lively place for intellectual and artistic exchange during the period 1972-1977 (at the end of 77 I left the community and have no further information about the members and its changes).

I was able to find some information and pictures from some the members of this community, which I would like to add here as info (if someone does not agree with the publication about their person, then kindly let me know so that we can make the correction required)
