Christoph Balzar

Breaking the Mold of Convention Presenting installations, sculptures, objects, and paintings from Mexico, Cuba, West Africa, Israel, Bulgaria, Russia, South Korea, and Japan, rounded out by extraordinary works from the U.S. and Europe, this selection from the Dohmen Collection features artists from countries that did not typically register on "Western" art radars until fifteen years ago. It was the seminal documenta 11 (2002), curated by a team led by Okwui Enwezor, that ushered in a departure from the contemporary art world's entrenched geopolitical ideas. This book showcases a treasure that has long been ahead of its time yet did not attract public attention: the private collection of Werner Dohmen, a physician in Aachen. It includes works by Mariana Castillo Deball, Wim Delvoye, Jimmie Durham, Diango Hernández, Rodney McMillian, Pavel Pepperstein, Nora Turato, Haegue Yang, and other artists who continue to provoke audiences, ask probing questions, and prompt fresh thinking.

Douglas Kolk

"Fragmented and morbid, yet full of yearning and sensitivity, Douglas Kolk's drawings and collages show people who seem to be at odds with themselves and on the verge of collapse."--BOOK JACKET.

Stefan Thiel

Raimar Stange

Famous for rendering the Marquis de Sade into Braille sealed under glass, Berlin-based artist Stefan Thiel (born 1965) has recently worked extensively with silhouette cut-outs that depict people, architecture, landscapes, even well-known films--all executed with a fanatical attention to detail.
