Gerdi Sobek-Beutter
Hommage à Gertrude Stein was in three parts, each consisting of public performances by students and guest artists in Stuttgart and other locations in Germany: “Eine Amerikanerin in Paris,” 1990-1992; “Die Avantgarde,” 1993-1994; and “Identität,” 1994-1996. A final phase, “Impulse: Wortkunst, Musik, Bildkunst,” 1995, summarized the project. Scholars and artists who collaborated with Sobek-Beutter included Robert Bartlett Haas, professor of literature at the University of California, Los Angeles, who organized a series of conferences on Stein in Bilignin and Culoz, France, 1986-1990; Klaus Fessmann, musician and professor at the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst; and Reinhard Döhl, author and professor at the Universität Stuttgart.
Sobek-Beutter created this collection of papers to document the project, with the intention of donating the collection to the Yale Collection of American Literature.
