- Quarto, 11 inches high by 8-1/2 inches wide. Softcover, 10 mechanically reproduced pages, including a cover sheet, titled "Jochen Seidel's Life Notes by Jo Roman, 1974", stapled together at top left. Folded in half horizontally with some minor light brown stains to the verso of a few pages. Together with a 16 page catalog for an exhibition at the Goethe house illustrated in color and black & white with photos of Jochen Seidel's drawings and paintings. The softcover octavo catalog, bound in stapled white wraps, measures 9-1/8 inches high by 6 inches wide. There is minor soiling & creasing to the covers. Very good. On the cover sheet of her essay on Jochen Seidel's work, Jo Roman has written: "Enclosed material has not been edited.For further information contact Ms. Jo Roman", followed by her address and phone number. The work consists of a 2-page "Outline" in which Roman pieces together biographical material drawn from "family and friends" and from "a scramble of papers he left". Following the biographical outline is a very personal 2-1/2 page essay about which she observes that it "is part of my personal overview and, so, subjective. I admired Jochen as an artist and platonically loved him throughout his seven years in New York City". Following this essay is a page titled "Jochen Seidel: Exhibits and Awards". The concluding three pages are what Roman calls a "Descriptive Outline", an attempt to show the range of Seidel's work in chronological order.The Goethe House catalog includes a lead essay by Jo Roman, an essay by the abstract expressionist artist Ethel Kremer Schwabacher, and an essay by art historian and curator Harry Rand. Laid into the catalog is a postcard invitation to the reception.Jochen Seidel, (1924-1971), was a German artist who studied with Ernst Schumacher in West Berlin. In 1961 and 1964 he exhibited at the Carnegie International Exhibition in Pittsburgh, PA. In 1962 he accepted an offer to teach at Fairleigh Dickinson University in New Jersey. From 1964 Seidel resided in a loft at 812 Broadway in New York City and befriended Jo Roman and her husband Mel for the last 7 years of his life. He hung himself in his studio sometime around May 30, 1971.Jo Roman, (1917-1979), was an artist and an advocate for the right of people to commit suicide. This advocacy became particularly defined after the death of her friend Jochen Seidel. A diagnosis of breast cancer put her on the path of her own suicide. In 1980 PBS broadcast a then controversial program titled "Choosing Suicide" documenting the reasons for Roman's suicide through interviews with her between February and May of 1979. Her book, "Exit House", was published posthumously in 1980. …
