Edited by Pieter Brattinga, the series was primarily published by de Jong & Co. as a form of advertising or
self-promotion, but was issued free. Each of the publications in the series was printed in an edition of 2,000 copies in four languages - Dutch, English, French and German as in the
series title - and was available on application to de Jong while stock remained. Extremely high production
quality is demonstrated throughout and the choice of material, subject, illustration and format is enormously
varied, innovative and capricious.
Among the subjects chosen, a mixture of art, typography, linguistics, architecture, poetry and so on, often
taking the form of a correspondence between Brattinga and the subject, we have Buckminster Fuller, Henry
Miller, Bruno Munari, Diter Rot (in his no ‘e’ or ‘h’ in his name phase), the poet Simon Vinkenoog, Chagall, Les
Levine,Willem Sandberg and many others. The form of correspondence continued with the design of each
issue, the paper chosen, the format and the whole series exhibits an extraordinary range, featuring games,
scientific analyses, artist’s books, monographs, collections of poetry, multiples and, indeed, close to the whole
gamut of what can be achieved with print.
Due to the ephemeral and non-commercial nature of the series, complete sets are rare.
‘The Quadrat-Prints are a series of experiments in printing ranging over the fields of graphic design, the plastic
arts, literature, architecture music. They are edited by Pieter Brattinga and are not for sale.’ (Taken from the
multi-language text printed in each issue).
