Synopsis
Der neue Band aus der Reihe "Art and Architecture in Discussion" prasentiert den Architekten Ken Adam und die Kunstlerin Katharina Fritsch im Gesprach mit Kuratoren. Ken Adams geniale Setdesigns fur die fruhen Bondfilme sind legendar. Ebenso einpragsam sind Katharina Fritschs enigmatische Skulpturen, die kollektive Angste thematisieren. Fritschs und Adams Bildfindungen weisen erstaunliche formale Parallelen auf. Im Gesprach werden viele weitere unerwartete Verbindungen zwischen der Kunstlerin und dem Designer deutlich.
