Not simply a textual complement to the exhibition but also an unusual combine of art works, this book is much more than just a documentation of an exhibition, it's an exhibition in book form. In spite of its classical design and hardcover binding, it is an artists' book with a truly unusual use of texts and reprints. The book will also feature sections with visual reminders and references for all of the 4th berlin biennial activities including Checkpoint Charley, Gagosian Gallery in Berlin, and the columns presented by the bb4 in Zitty magazine." -- publisher's statement. New. In publisher-issued shrink wrap. Due to large size and weight additional shipping charges will be required for international orders.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Gabriel Vormstein (b. Konstanz, 1974; lives and works in Berlin) explores themes of impermanence, temporality, and futility through a unique visual language. He paints using newspapers as a canvas, and creates installations out of tree branches and other organic matter.

Over 300 pages, this richly illustrated book provides an overview of Vormstein's oeuvre over the past two decades, while also offering an atmospheric glimpse into the artist's source material and working methods. The publication is enriched by an essay by Gean Moreno, who characterizes Vormstein's work as follows: "Gabriel Vormstein's paintings and sculptures (.) announce their condition as withering artifacts, as if no other manner of existing was available to them (and maybe to us, as well)". …

Hardcover. Condition: New. This slim, beautifully designed hardback monograph surveys the most recent abstractions of German painter Frank Maier (born 1966).
