About this title

Synopsis

This book celebrates a major private collection of contemporary art built by a husband and wife over the course of the past fifteen years. Focusing in particular on art that engages with the dissolution of physical presence into light color, the KiCo Foundation has acquired not just a large number of individual works by major artists, but also complete groups or even room-sized groups of pieces designed to offer deep insight into an artist’s work. For nearly two decades, the collectors have been working closely with the Kunstmuseum Bonn and the Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus in Munich. This book honors that collaboration and support, offering stunning reproductions of artworks from a broad variety of artists represented in the collection, some seen here for the first time.
