Public Abstraction
Publication
1.April 2017

Could it be that fundamental aspects of abstraction remain to be discovered? Abstraction is usually conceived of formally and pictorially, whereby its underlying thought patterns often recede into the background. This book attempts to question the notion of abstraction and art history’s use of it by opening the term up to new interpretations in relation to the public and social spheres of activity. Numerous artistic contributions as well as essays by Gerrit Gohlke, Stefan Heidenreich, Alexander Koch, Ana Teixeira Pinto, Petra Reichensperger, Raimar Stange, Marcus Steinweg, and Vlado Velkov indicate various ways of reconsidering abstraction as a process and a method of artistic production.

300 pages English/German. Edited by Vlado Velkov with a foreword by Johannes Teiser, greetings by Frank Eikel and essays by Gerrit Gohlke, Stefan Heidenreich, Alexander Koch, Ana Teixeira Pinto, Petra Reichensperger, Raimar Stange, Marcus Steinweg and Vlado Velkov, published by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König, Cologne, sponsored by RWE and Stiftung Kunstfonds, Bonn. ISBN-10: 3863357418. ISBN-13: 978-3863357412.
