Martin Kippenberger: The Problem Perspective

Martin Kippenberger (1953–1997) is a special case in art. His life and works were inextricably linked in a remarkable practice that centered on the role of the artist within both the culture and the system of art. This book, which accompanies the first major U.S. retrospective exhibition of Kippenberger's work, at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, documents Kippenberger's extraordinary twenty-year career with works in many media-paintings, sculptures, works on paper, installations, photographs, collaborations with other artists, posters, postcards, books, and music.
