Prager Brot. Remscheid: VICE-Versand, 1968. A bread with on the top a rectengular cut-out in which a blue bathtub thermometer has been placed. One side of the bread has been painted with a gold colored paint. (26 x 14x 9). Very well conserved.

- First and unlimited edition. Signed by Vostell on the bottom of the bread on an orange colored VICE-versand label. Schmieder writes about the history of this multiple: “Dieses Objekt hat seinen Ursprung in den Ereignissen des August 1968. Feelisch und Vostell sahen beide im Fernsehen die Bilder vom Einmarsch der russischen Truppen in Prag. In vielen Fernsehberichten wurde auch der Widerstand der Bevölkerung gegen den Einmarsch gezeigt, solange die Berichterstattung zu diesem Thema noch möglich war. Einer dieser Berichte zeigte auch einen Blick in eine Prager Bäckerei, in der Brote hergestellt waren, die auf der Oberseite aus zusätzlichem Teig Buchstaben aufgebacken hatten, die dann Worte bildeten wie Dubcek oder das tschechische Wort für Frieden. Beiden, Vostell und Feelisch, war auch das sogenannte „Russische Brot” geläufig, ein Backspezialität aus dunklem Teig, bei Kindern beliebt, die einzelne Buchstaben als Gebäck formte. Auf dem Hintergrund der empörten Gefühle anläßlich des Einmarschs ergab sich der dringende Wunsch Vostells, eine Arbeit zum Thema Tschechoslowakei anzufertigen. Zunächst sollte die Arbeit in Anlehnung an die originalen Prager Brote in Remscheid gefertigt werden, Recherchen Feelisch ergaben jedoch, daß sich keine Bäckerei in der Lage sah, solche Brote mit Buchstaben herzustellen. Als Vostell dies erfuhr, machte er einen Alternativvorschlag: Man solle sich doch einfach handelsübliche Brote besorgen, diese in Anspielung auf den Beinamen Prags als „Goldene Stadt” mit Gold bestreichen und ein Fieberthermometer in die Brote stecken, um zu zeigen, hier kocht etwas, hier ist es heiß. Fieberthermometer, die Zehntelgrad anzeigen, waren jedoch zu teuer, und so griff Feelisch auf die preiswert in großen Stückzahlen zu besorgenden Badethermometer zurück. Die Sorge um das Schicksal der Tschechoslowakei verband sich mit konkreten Befürchtungen für das Wohlergehen der dort lebenden Künstler namentlich Milan Knizäk. Daher lautete der bis heute unpublizierte Untertitel der Arbeit auch „Hommage an Milan Knizäk”. (schmieder, 148-150) euro 2.200
