The presentation brought together more than forty new artist’s books, nine monumental landscape paintings and over forty watercolours, accompanied here by a conversation between Kiefer and art journalist Louisa Buck.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough best known for heavily worked paintings and large-scale installations, Kiefer has used the book throughout his career as a self-contained space for image, handwriting, history, mythology and literary reference. The fluidity of watercolour offered a deliberate contrast to the dense material surfaces associated with his larger works: pigment moves, paper buckles and the finished image remains partly governed by chance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis compact publication is not the later 280-page exhibition catalogue. It was issued within the exhibition’s original circulation and announces that forthcoming book on its rear page. Part interview, part visual record and part catalogue prospectus, it compresses a substantial gallery presentation into fifteen pages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cover reproduces \u003cem\u003ealler Tage Abend, aller Abende Tag\u003c\/em\u003e (The Evening of All Days, The Day of All Evenings), 2014, extending Kiefer’s handwritten language across a winter landscape. Inside, reproductions and conversation are arranged with generous white space, retaining the scale and intimacy of the watercolour books.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e23 × 27.5 cm. 15 pages.
