On February 26, 2003, Martin Kippenberger would have turned 50. In commemoration of his birthday, gallerist Max Hetzler presents this volume in which artists, critics, art historians and authors have written highly personal testimonies to Kippenberger, who was a friend, role model and source of irritation all in one. Kippenberger's forceful presence is doubly testified to by the artwork, snapshots and ephemera scattered throughout.

Another Kippenberger Book,
By Hellorinis "Hellorinis" (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hommage to Martin Kippenberger: The 80's, Paintings and Sculptures (Hardcover)
You must have this book because it is another Kippenberger book. Just in case you have missed something. Really, this is a very brief volume, so if you are looking to buy Kippe stuff, i'd recommend the "Nach Kippenberger" and/or the "Kippenberger" ones. This has a few brief essays by people who knew/worked with him. The piece by Albert Oehlen is touching and it highlights their mutual influence. There are some reproductions, and of course they are worthwhile having - that's the wonderful thing about K, his seemingly disparate output leaves you on your toes, surprised, wanting more. Yet another dose for the afficcionado. The book was published by Max Hertzler, (one of ) his dealer (s) and collaborator of sorts.

excellent insider info on Kippenberger,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hommage to Martin Kippenberger: The 80's, Paintings and Sculptures (Hardcover)
The essay by Merlin Carpenter on the relationship Kippenberger and Kippenberger's work had to his assistants and the idea of the KIPPENBERGER ASSISTANT is fantastic. Who knew? I mean, sure we know that Michael Krebber was his assistant and that the parallels between Krebber's work and Kippenberger's work is obvious, but no way did I know that Krebber essentially made Kippenberger's sculptures for a period of years almost totally unchecked and that the work was fully accepted by Kippenberger as part of his (i.e. Kippenberger's) process. It is a great essay of observed outside thinking. The other essays are fine and the interview with Oehlen is OK. Most of the paintings are abstracts and well worth a look and maybe a change in one's understanding of what "good" is in order to fully appreciate them.
