Martin Kippenberger - Vom Eindruck zum Ausdruck 1/4 Jahrhundert Kippenberger - Verlag Pikasso's Erben 1979
Martin Kippenberger's second artist's book, published on the occasion of his 25th birthday, as one of the earliest instances of his lifelong project of "extensive self-projection". With all but 2 of the 198 pages blank, the edition of 300 copies was issued along with 93 black-and-white stickers derived from Kippenberger family album photographs; for the first number of signed and numbered copies, Martin Kippenberger affixed the stickers himself throughout the book, but the majority of copies have circulated unsigned, with the stickers loose—and almost always with some number significantly fewer than the total. Pristine copy, unsigned and unnumbered accompanied by 59 of the stickers in perfect condition.

Willem Oorebeek - Vertikal Klub - N.N. 2013
‘Vertikal Klub’ is a manual for future installations of the “Vertical Club”, a project launched by Willem Oorebeek in 1994 and which has been developing ever since. The book not only compiles in an archaeological way present and (potential) future members of the “Vertical Club”, but also reflects on the use and representation of the human figure in print media. Text and image are connected in a radical way, pushing the idea of administrative visual statistics towards the absurd. “Vertikal Klub” raises the question as to the admission policy and representational use of the human figure in dark times.
Edition of 500 numbered copies.
64p - EN - 27x20,5cm - softcover - new
