Summary
Since the fall of the Wall, Berlin has become a mecca for exceptional artists who have innovative approaches. Today, both up-and-coming and established artists have made Berlin their place of residence. Who are these creative artists who are working in Berlin as painters, illustrators, sculptors, concept artists, and photographers, and are giving the city the distinction of being the centre of the art world? Christoph Tannert is the exhibition organiser for the Künstlerhaus Bethanien, a well-known international cultural centre in Berlin, and a man who knows the Berlin art scene well. In this book, Tannert introduces a number of prominent artists he considers to be representative of the two generations of artists working in Berlin. They have all influenced Berlin’s art scene and are part of the shift the city underwent from being a place of great freedom for a passing wild art movement to becoming the newly established centre for art that it is today. The internationally acclaimed author and curator Mark Gisbourne conducted interviews with the artists that shed light on their artistic production methods. Stefan Pielow, who became well-known through his unique staged photographs, spotlighted each of the artists for this book.The exceptional quality of this photography volume can be seen before even opening the book. It is a large format edition and the cover inlay showing the skyline of Berlin is embossed in metal. This book is also a collector’s edition as it includes artistic inserts that will only be published here, and is only appearing in a limited, numbered printing of 9,999 copies worldwide.
