Published on the occasion of the landmark exhibition of the same name held at the Boston Atheneum in 2008. Presents Thomas Kellner's "All Shook Up". Grid-photographs of the Boston Atheneum. "Known worldwide for his deconstructive/reconstructive architectural photographs, Kellner was invited to be the Atheneum Bicentennial Artist-In-Residence in 2006. Kellner painstakingly took multiple photographs of fragments of a single image and then assembled the fragments into a new representation of the subject. His previous subjects have included such architectural icons as the Eiffel Tower, the London Tower Bridge, the Arc de Triomphe, Stonehenge, and the Golden Gate Bridge. Thomas Kellner's vision animates these interior spaces in a new way. The Classical symmetrical rooms are 'all shook up' with light and energy. With subversive irony, Kellner's architectural photographs do not appear as the postcard-esque pictures of iconic monuments we carry in our minds nor can they be seen as images documenting perfect form. His buildings are de-constructed into multiple fragments and re-constructed to assume an entirely new form. Kellner's photographs ask us to perform a variety of operations simultaneously as we attempt to fuse these dancing images into a more stable, more readily identifiable whole" (Richard Wendorf). An absolute "must-have" title for Thomas Kellner collectors. This title is a contemporary art photography classic.

"The grid is one of the most powerful formats available to, yet seldom effectively used by, art photographers. The grid is Modernism itself and resulted in some of the greatest works of art of our time. By discovering the grid, Cubism, De Stijl, Mondrian, and Malevich landed in a place that was out of reach of everything that went before. Which is to say they landed in the Present, and everything else was declared to be the Past" (Paul Wombell). In short, The Grid = The New. What better way to celebrate the cosmopolis that is based on the grid, the city as a work of art, as a modern utopia? Most cities, including the greatest ones, grew organically, the accidental outcome of competing visions and vested interests. Cerebral, rigorous, even severe, grid art remains an acquired taste even for connoisseurs (for being "cold", which ridiculously implies that all art should be "warm"). Kellner's photographs are not just effective use of the grid, but are exceptionally beautiful because they capture the essence of the city. Kellner's emphasis on formal elements is not arbitrary but necessary. Paul Wombell traces Kellner's work all the way back to Muybridge for his disciplined approach and progressive vision. That his work represents some of the most advanced photography in our time is evident in his Artist Books, of which "Mexico" is an exemplary achievement. An absolute "must-have" title for Thomas Kellner collectors. This is a copy of the Limited Edition of 500 copies.

Orange hard boards with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Photographs by Thomas Kellner. Essay by Dr. Gunter Zehnder. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in Dueren, Germany to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Published in conjunction with the award given to Thomas Kellner. Re-presents and gathers together, in one exquisitely produced volume, Thomas Kellner's "Farbwelt 135-36". The most important works from his Series "Tango Metropolis" and "Dancing Walls". The images provide an insight into the artist's work from 1997-2009, when he developed his unique style of deconstruction. Prof. Dr. Gunter Zehnder, art historian and former Director of the Rheinisches Landesmuseum Bonn, expounds on photography - and Kellner's crucial contribution - from an art-historical point-of-view: "What belongs here to Thomas Kellner's unique technique and composition style at the same time reminds us of the picture flood that we are all subjected to around the clock, practically without any break. Almost 98% of them are created with a photographic camera along with all of the technology that follows, up to the quick and clumsy cell phone image. We, that is to say every generation, are surrounded by a colorful picture-world that leads us to perceive many things in passing, ostensibly and superficially, thereby leading us to often see everything and yet nothing. The catchy picture, which therefore does not require any analysis and thought, is often the most popular" (Gunter Zehnder). Instead, Kellner makes us more keenly aware of this universal phenomenon, breaks up an image (or composite image) into its constituent parts, and then restores them as grid-photographs that transcend commercial photography, thereby becoming art.

Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in Berlin, Germany to the highest stnadards. In pictorial DJ with titles on the cover and spine, as issued. Presents Thomas Kellner's "Genius Loci". Inspired by Russia. In 2012, Thomas Kellner received an offer from Yekaterinburg (in the Russian Urals) to organize a project (with both exhibition and book commissions) for the city's anniversary in 2013. Kellner was chosen not just because of his unique deconstructive approach, but also because Yekaterinburg was founded almost 300 years ago by Georg Wilhem Henning, a Siegen citizen, just as Kellner is today. "During his years of study, Thomas Kellner began to work with pinhole cameras, which became the basis for the approach he is following to the present day. In his early works experimenting with material, photographic methods and contents were crucial. It included building pinhole cameras himself in order to adopt them to the purpose he was aiming at. The results reflect a diversity of styles and subjects. They range from multiple perspectives within one photograph to documentary to photograms. Then, Kellner focussed on the analog camera and 35 mm film. He developed a visual language and method that deconstructs and constructs objects at the same time. Today, he works in a unique style of contact sheets, photographing the object in numerous singular shots until in the end the object is visible in its entirety again. The film-material Thomas uses is transparent for the recipient as well because the single shots are assembled together as negatives. Therefore perforation, codification, and numbers of the film material are part of the positive" (Publisher's blurb). The contact sheet is inherently a grid that Kellner has perfected as his photographic art's method and subject. An absolute "must-have" title for Thomas Kellner collectors.
