Description: "Retrospektive covers more than three decades of Berlin-based Isa Genzken's career, with over 150 images, some of which are published here for the first time. Although she works in a variety of media, Genzken is best known for her architectural sculptures made from colorful materials, including mirrored sheets, fluorescent plastic and glass. A catalogue for Open, Sesame!, Genzken's retrospective exhibition at Cologne's Museum Ludwig and London's Whitechapel Gallery, this volume offers the most definitive look yet at an influential and notoriously reclusive artist. Featured are essays by renowned critic Yves-Alain Bois, curators Ulrich Loocks, Donna De Salvo and Ian White, an interview with Museum Ludwig Director Kasper Konig and contributions from artists Dan Graham, Wolfgang Tillmans and Lawrence Weiner."--Jacket.
Notes: Published on the occasion of an exhibition held at the Whitechapel Gallery, London, 5 April - 21 June 2009 and the Museum Ludwig, Cologne, 13 August - 15 November 2009.
