Description
The important German collector Thomas Olbricht presents a personal selection of his most recent acquisitions, including Maurizio Cattelan, Jake & Dinos Chapman, Larry Clark, Thomas Demand, Marlene Dumas, Carroll Dunham, Marcel Dzama, Isaac Julien, Richard Phillips, Alexis Rockman, Gregor Schneider, Taryn Simon, Hiroshi Sugito, Nicola Tyson and Barry X-Ball. As Olbricht writes in the epilogue, 'Collecting art, for me, is an elixir of life÷ Seemingly anything goes and nothing is sure. This productive restlessness makes collecting a great adventure--that's one thing this picture book is meant to tell; another thing is that, for me, the variety of positions I'm continuously concerning myself with combines to become a cosmos full of life.' Contains an illustrated appendix and an introduction by Jean-Christophe Ammann.
