Description
The first ever overview of Pfeiffer's lively artistic output across mediums from the 1960s to the present, from A to Z Inspired by the illustrated alphabets found in abecedariums, this new book on Walter Pfeiffer (born 1946) presents playful and illuminating insights into the Swiss artist's practice from A to Z, annotated by Pfeiffer himself. The book also features new texts reflecting on five decades of Pfeiffer's artistic output from an international group of curators, critics and writers. At once a meticulously crafted artist's book and a comprehensive monograph, Walter Pfeiffer demonstrates the artist's sustained commitment to exquisite, innovative publications. This book is part of Swiss Institute's newly redesigned SI Series. Each book in the SI Series adds context through seminal essays, archival materials, event transcripts, artist portfolios and exhibition documentation, as well as reprints and new translations of important texts.
