Ruth Wolf-Rehfeldt is a German artist associated with visual poetry and mail art.[1]
She is known particularly for a period of geometric and poetic typewriter graphics art that she calls "typewritings" produced between the 1970s and 1990, mostly as part of Mail Art collaborations.[2] Her work is interested in environmental issues and human rights. Mail art allowed Wolf-Rehfeldt to communicate and form networks with artists living under totalitarian regimes similar to hers during a time of international isolation.[3] A collection of her work is part of the 2017 documenta 14 art exhibition.[4][5]
