110<br />
On the 10th May 1927 Kazimir Malevich wrote a letter, from Berlin,<br />
addressing <strong>Kurt</strong> <strong>Schwitters</strong>. Two versions exist of this letter. One<br />
manuscript is in the Bauhaus-Archive in the Museum für Gestaltung<br />
in Berlin (Inv. n. 2848). The transcript is published in I. A. Vakar, T.<br />
H. Mihienko’s Малевич о себе. Современники о Малевиче. Письма.<br />
Документы. Воспоминания. Критика, том I (RA, Moscow 2004, pp.<br />
189-191), as well as in English translation in Irina A. Vakar and Tatiana<br />
N. Mikhienko’s Kazimir Malevich. Letters and Documents, vol. 1 (Tate<br />
Publishing, London 2015, pp. 202-204).<br />
The second manuscript, a shortened version, can be found in the Stedelijk<br />
Museum in Amsterdam, which was reproduced in English in Troels<br />
Anderen’s K. S. Malevich. The Artist, Infinity, Suprematism – unpublished<br />
writings 1913-33, vol IV (Borgens Forlag, Amsterdam 1978, pp. 160-162).<br />

Monstra <strong>Merz</strong> = Jahrmarktvorbild im Sturm”, which was published in the
