Books & Ephemera 1977–2023
Marc Camille Chaimowicz
22 September–3 November, 2023

Since the early 1970s, Marc Camille Chaimowicz has defied straightforward categorisation, creating large-scale installations that combine everything from found objects, painting, performance and sculpture to lighting and ceramics. Visually rich and precisely observed, the objects and images he designs, makes, and gathers from elsewhere propose connections, set up oppositions, and trace narratives in a dense play of puzzle, metaphor, and interpretative possibility. This approach extends seamlessly to the printed material associated with his practice, which range from books, invitation cards, posters, prints, clothing and wine labels.

John Latham
Published by the Tate Gallery, London, 1976, 48 pp. (b/w ill.), 16 × 16 cm, English
Price: €20 (Out of stock)

John Latham (1921–2006) was a pioneer of British conceptual art, who, through painting, sculpture, performances, assemblages, films, installation and extensive writings, fuelled controversy and continues to inspire. A visionary in mapping systems of knowledge, whether scientific or religious, he developed his own philosophy of time, known as ‘Event Structure.’

Photo Book(s)
Daan van Golden
Published by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König, Köln, 2013, 412 pages (colour & b/w ill.), 24 × 32 cm, English
Price: €50

Daan van Golden Photo Book(s) reproduces the photo pages of Van Golden’s earlier books (most of which have long been out of print), as well as two little known photo essays, in their entirety.

The reproduction of preexisting material, the insistent adherence to a set of core elements, gestures and images, the conviction that creating different juxtapositions and interactions between those same elements yields new readings and meaning: these are the hallmark of van Golden’s work, and here for the first time they serve as the organising principle for a book, one whose patient rhythm creates the space for the logic of a practice to establish its sensible presence.

Old Flames are Dead Matches
David Robilliard
Published by Friedman-Guinness Gallery, Frankfurt, 1987, matchbox with matches (colour & b/w ill.), 5.6 × 4 cm, English
Price: €170

David Robilliard (b.1952, Guernsey) moved to London in the late 1970s where he established himself as a self-taught painter and poet. He began working for Gilbert & George after appearing as an ‘angry young man’ in their film The World of Gilbert and George (1981). They actively promoted him as their favourite artist and in 1984 published ‘Inevitable’, his first volume of poetry. Three years later, in 1987, Robilliard was diagnosed as HIV positive and in 1988 he died at the age of 36. In his short life he produced a modest but important body of work now held in significant public collections including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Tate Modern, London and the Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven. His work is direct both in content and form, comical and yet ultimately deeply romantic.
