(1) Dokumente, 1982. Clasp bound, 29.5 x 21 cm, ca. 100 photocopied pp. Catalogue for a 100-day exhibition series organized by Olbrich at his art space Kunold Strasse 34 in Kassel, simultaneously with Documenta 7. Every day another artist was invited to present something and contribute to the catalogue. Artists included Ria Pacquee, Michael Gibbs, Klaus Groh, Robert Rehfeldt, Wulle Konsumkunst, Klaus Staeck, Rod Summers et al.

(2) Collective Copy and Test Copy, 1983. Artists' books featuring thrown away photocopied sheets (by unknown people) collected and assembled by the artist. Olbrich sent free copies to people from his mail art network, who could only get one Collective Copy and one Test Copy in their lifetime. This sample derives from Bart Boumans, with original envelope and note by Olbrich. (3) 16 items sent by Jürgen O. Olbrich to Boumans, providing great documentation on Olbrich's mail-art and Kunoldstrasse activities. (total 19)
