The catalogue brings together installation views, sculptural constructions, photographs and text-based works. The title — Totalität \/ Fragment — describes a practice in which individual parts remain visibly separate while being arranged into temporary spatial and linguistic structures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy the 1970s, Gabriele Schmidt-Heins had become closely associated with Conceptual Art and the artist’s book, working independently and alongside her twin sister Barbara. Their handmade and frequently unique publications treated the book as an autonomous artistic form rather than a secondary record of other work. Both artists participated in documenta 6 and 7.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere, that approach moves between page and exhibition space. Architectural fragments, linear constructions and statements such as ZEIT WERK \/ immortal \/ I’m mortal appear as components within larger arrangements. The catalogue does not resolve these works into a complete survey; it preserves their interruptions, partial views and changing relationships.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blue-and-brown patterned wrappers repeat a field of circular marks, interrupted on the front by a pale blue panel carrying the artist’s name vertically. The design converts the cover into another division between field and fragment, while the book gathers temporary installations into a portable sequence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSecurely packed; tracked UK and international shipping available.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stadtgalerie Kiel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54126488093010,"sku":"SCHMIDTHEINS-STADTGALERIE-TOTALITAT-1990","price":65.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0991\/5636\/1554\/files\/Schmidt-Heins_-Gabriele.-Totality_-Fragment_-_Kiel_-Stadtgalerie-im-Sophienhof_-1990-cover_dbca11d2-d5c1-4be0-a565-973ef6173cde.jpg?v=1785285867","url":"https:\/\/thenewrare.com\/products\/gabriele-schmidt-heins-totalitat-fragment-stadtgalerie-kiel-1990","provider":"The New Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
