Isa Genzken Der Spiegel 1989-1991

Isa Genzken's Der Spiegel 1989-1991is a limited edition artist's book of deceptive simplicity: it consists of 121 reproductions of black-and-white photographs cut out of the influential German newsweekly Der Spiegelover a period of three years. The images are presented starkly, bereft of photo credits or captions: having been freed from their usual meaning-giving context, the images assume a mystery and free-floating universality as the viewer unconsciously struggles to recall the specificity of the sensational news story and headline to which they were once attached. The book is produced in a limited edition of 700 numbered copies.Genzken, Isa is the author of 'Isa Genzken Der Spiegel 1989-1991' with ISBN 9783883756455 and ISBN 3883756458.
