Beschreibung

In 1968, at the dawning of a new era, two brothers Walther and Kasper König started a publishing house. One lived in Cologne, the other in New York; one sought to become a publisher for artists, the other a curator of contemporary art. They wanted to publish artist's books a new art form at the time. This meant experimenting with the book as a medium, with texts, imagery and pages interpreted as an autonomous art space. Their goal was to use artist's books as a means to engage in an inspired democratization of the world. The merits of this are still evident today: as printed material, the book is reproducible; as a medium, it was mobile; as a work of art, it was transnational; and, on top of that, it was affordable. Fifty-eight years on, this publication looks at the artist's books put out by this renowned publisher and provides a chronological and alphabetical overview of its catalog. It features 993 covers and a selection of pages from inside the books, as well as a list of the limited editions. Sandra Doeller (b. 1983) is a graphic designer whose work focuses on books, posters, and exhibitions in the realm of art and culture. Kasper König (19432024) was a university president, professor, director, and curator. He ran the Gebr. König publishing house together with his brother, Walther, until 1973. Walther König (b. 1939) is a publisher and bookseller. In 1968, he co-founded the publishing house Gebr. König, Köln New York. Eva Linhart (b. 1959) is an art historian and curator whose work focuses on book art and graphic design at the intersection of fine and applied art.
