Otto Meyer-Amden (1885–1933) was a Swiss painter and graphic artist renowned for his devotional works that explore themes of human affection, meditation, and spiritual inner movement through a blend of figuration and geometric abstraction.

In 1912, after studies Zurich, Munich and Stuttgart, he relocated to the village of Amden in eastern Switzerland—later incorporating it into his surname—and spent much of his career there until 1928, producing drawings and paintings in media such as pencil, chalk, Indian ink, watercolour, and oil that emphasise connective density, simplicity, and truth derived from spiritual necessity.

Exhibition History 1964–1975 and Selected Works 1957–1975
Marcel Broodthaers
Published by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König, Köln, 2021, 880 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 22.8 × 31 cm, English
Price: €78

In 1963, the writer Marcel Broodthaers decided to embark on a career in the visual arts. Yet he never severed his ties to poetry and language, whose systems of meaning make up an integral aspect of his work. Retaining a certain distance to the art world, he posed fundamental questions about art -its mediums, its conceptions of what constitutes an artwork, its representation in museums. To this day, his oeuvre takes a critical stand on art’s commercialization strategies. Exhibition-making itself was a key element of Broodthaers’s artistic approach. Documenting all of the artist’s solo exhibitions that took place during his lifetime, the catalogue is the first ever to highlight that praxis. The extensive chronology and the accompanying detailed pictorial documentation of the most important works of every year together offer a systematic overview of his oeuvre. In addition to scholarly essays and many texts by Marcel Broodthaers himself, the publication also features an extensive series of photographic views of the major retrospective at the Fridericianum.

Edited by Susanne Pfeffer, with contributions from Michael Compton, Anny De Decker, Sebastian Egenhofer, Sabine Folie, Maria Gilissen Broodthaers, Gloria Moure, Susanne Pfeffer & Cord Riechelmann.

1 Rue Gabriel Tarde, Sarlat-La-Canéda, Dordogne (Card)
Liam Gillick
Published by Micheline Szwajcer Gallery, Antwerp, 2015, card, 15.2 × 10.7 cm, English
Price: €15

Produced on the occasion of Liam Gillick’s exhibition 1 Rue Gabriel Tarde, Sarlat-La-Canéda, Dordogne at Micheline Szwajcer Gallery, Antwerp, 21 March–18 April, 2015.

Liam Gillick is known for contributions in sculpture, video, architecture and text. His work focuses on contemporary management of labor, time, and aesthetics extended through a distinctive conception of exhibition as a medium in its own right. His work is divided between abstraction based on social and political structures of the present and texts, films and graphics that often appear to contradict and comment upon the apparent clarity of his structures.

FINITE INFINITE
STURTEVANT
Published by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König, Köln, 2013, 144 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 14 × 6 cm, English
Price: €15

Published to accompany the exhibition LEAPS JUMPS AND BUMPS, this flip book focuses on one of Sturtevant’s more recent works, Finite Infinite (2010), a large scale projection that features a dog running in an endless loop across an expanse of grass. Finite Infinite, like many of Sturtevant’s video works, references the endlessly repeating imagery that has become so prevalent in the world we live in today. Looping and repetition, key themes throughout Sturtevant’s practice, are also elegantly drawn out in the insightful text by Daniel Birnbaum included in this book.
