Description: Gerhard Richter has increasingly turned towards the artist's book to explore possibilities of sequencing and narrative. Eis combines German-only encyclopedia texts on Arctic regions with color photographs of ice floes and icebergs. Both texts and photographs are printed across split pages to read upside-down in either direction.
