Seller's Description:

Good (DJ is lightly edgeworn/scuffed/smudged. ) Navy blue cloth boards with debossed and white lettering; grey & white illustrated DJ with black lettering; 347 pp.; richly illustrated. Ben Willikens became known for his paintings of deserted spaces where time seems to stand still. For a long time, gray dominated his palette, and his orchestration of three-dimensional light drew both viewers and interpreters who found a 'theater of absence' in his work. This overview is the first to present the entire range of his oeuvre. In more than 250 pictures, from his drawings of the 1960s to the Anstaltsbildern (institution paintings) and Abendmahl (communion paintings) of the 1970s, the Gegenräume (alternative spaces) and ORTE (places) to the ceiling mural known as the Leipziger Firmament (2014), this survey recapitulates an artistic development in which automotive paint, watercolors, drawings, photographs, gouaches, collages, acrylic paint, and silkscreens have played a role, along with all colors, for more than two decades. --WorldCat.
