Biennale Venedig 2015, Östereichischer Pavillon
Heimo Zobernig
Published by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König, Köln, 2015, 192 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 14.8 × 21 cm, German/English/Italian
Price: €14

Heimo Zobernig’s contribution to the Venice Biennial responded directly to the existing exhibition situation in the Austrian Pavilion, built in 1934 based on plans by Josef Hoffmann and Robert Kramreiter. The Pavilion’s structure, with its rounded classical arches and majestic visual axes, on the one hand, and clear, rational forms and modern construction materials, on the other, moves between the poles of historicism and modernism. At the same time, Zobernig’s intervention connected inside and outside, to create an enclosed site where one can linger and reflect on human presence in space.

Edited by Yilmaz Dziewior.

Color, Power & Style
Wade Guyton
Published by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König, Köln, 2006, 128 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 19.5 × 26.5 cm, English

Wade Guyton rose to prominence in the mid-2000s with a landmark series of abstract paintings composed of simple forms and letters printed on canvas. Running the canvas through a commercial inkjet printer, Guyton stretched the device beyond its capacity to the point of failure, embedding the limits of a digital future onto the surfaces of his paintings.

The Fatigue Empire
Cosima von Bonin
Published by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König, Köln, 2010, 320 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 18 × 23 cm, German / English
Price: €70

Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Cosima von Bonin, The Fatigue Empire at Kunsthaus Bregenz, Bregenz, July 18 – October 3, 2010.

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.

With essays by Yilmaz Dziewior, Mark von Schlegell, and John Welchman. Designed by Yvonne Quirmbach.

Familienbande. Die Schenkung Schröder/Family Ties: The Schröder Donation
Published by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König, Köln, 2019, 384 pp. (colour & b/w ill.), 19.8 × 25 cm, English/German
Price: €25 (Out of stock)

Family, kin, clan, clique, coterie, fandom, elective affinity, alliance, collaboration, network. These forms of social structures are reflected in the materials assembled in this catalogue: invitation cards, flyers, fanzines, journals, and texts from the 1990s and 2000s. Documents that are arranged chronologically on a timeline provide an insight into the developments of visual art at that time in Cologne and New York. Selected historical essays and reviews reflect virulent theoretical debates; interspersed data point to socio-political events and influential exhibitions. The catalogue accompanies the exhibition of the Schröder Donation with works by Kai Althoff, Cosima von Bonin, KP Brehmer, Tom Burr, Lukas Duwenhögger, Isa Genzken, Dan Graham, Renée Green, Ull Hohn, Hilary Lloyd, Lucy McKenzie, Christian Philipp Müller, Nils Norman, Stephen Prina, and Danh Vo.
