GRUPPE SPUR - Osborne, 965A Madison Ave. at 75th. In 1957 four young Munich artists began exhibiting together, calling themselves the Gruppe Spur to describe their search for a new path.

Last week, impassive, he sat in the prisoner's box of Munich's Palace of Justice while Chief Judge Emil Mannhart took three hours to read the verdict, which found him guilty. The sentence: 15 years.
