‘Contemporary Art in Germany, Austria and Switzerland’ explores the contemporary art from these three countries through a select number of artist profiles, specially commissioned essays and reprints on the subject. The sixth title in the extensive Artworld series features the work of outstanding artists such as Iza Genzken, Frank Madler, Hans-Peter Feldman, Andreas Gursky, Pipilotti Rist, Erwin Wurm, Rosemarie Trockel, Frank Ackermann, Gerhard Richter and John Bock amongst others, chosen with the help of the book’s advisors: Rut Blees Luxemburg, Neil Gall and John Slyce, due to their standing relevance and predicted longevity. The works are organised throughout the book on the basis of medium and style, in keeping with the previous books in the series, transcending geographical and regional preconceptions. A specially commissioned introductory essay and appendix of essays and reprints by writers, academics and practitioners working in the field can be found at the back of the book, contextualising the work found on the preceding pages. Fully illustrated and consistent with the previous Artworld titles, Contemporary Art in Germany, Austria and Switzerland is a unique and eye-opening introduction to these three countries and their contemporary art scenes.
