Things matter, Dinge zählen
Wolfgang Tillmans
Published by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König, Köln, 2025, 312 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 21 × 29.7 cm, English/German
Price: €30

Things matter, Dinge zählen is published on the occasion of my exhibition Weltraum at Albertinum museum in Dresden. In 1998 when I first visited Dresden I bought a collection catalog of the Neue Meister in Gemäldegalerie Dresden for five marks in the bargain bin outside the museum bookshop. I was fascinated by it and the grid structured, black and white display of paintings in alphabetical order. It inspired me in 2003 to design my catalogue for the Tate Britain exhibition in exactly the same but chronological style. If one thing matters, everything matters is now 22 years old and I happen to now have a solo exhibition in the same Neue Meister museum which is now called Albertinum. So for the catalogue of this show I fused and rephotographed the books from 1987 and 2003 and placed new works from the 2025 on top of the pages.” Wolfgang Tillmans, Instagram

Rabbit at Rest
Cosima von Bonin
Published by Ursula Bickle Stiftung, Kraichtal, 2000, 64 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 22 × 29.7 cm, German/English
Price: €22

Produced on the occasion of Cosima von Bonin’s exhibition Rabbit at Rest at Ursula Bickle Stiftung, September 17–October 15, 2000.

Cosima von Bonin came of age as an artist in the 1990s amid the storied art scene in Cologne. In her practice, mixed references to art history, popular culture, and music are seen in tandem with a destabilising approach to craft and domestic activities. Many of her recent installations are populated with casts of cartoonish fabric characters–fish, whales, mushrooms, dogs, rockets–whose endearing appearances conjure a range of contradictions: delight and horror, softness and rigidity, and humour and sorrow.

Designed by Yvonne Quirmbach and Reile Hertz.

This publication richly illustrated catalogue juxtaposes recent works never shown in Germany before with familiar pieces.

In her installations, exhausted soft toys, soft fences, rockets and textile images or cartoon figures like Daffy Duck or Bambi populate the space.

Designed by Yvonne Quirmbach.
