Edited by Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden, Hilke Wagner, Dennis Brzek
Created on the occasion of the exhibition Weltraum at the Albertinum in Dresden, this artist's book places four decades of Tillmans's practice in a thought-provoking dialogue with the past and present of East and West Germany. It intertwines excerpts from a 1987 Dresden inventory catalogue with Tillmans' 2003 catalogue for Tate Britain, in which he devised a speculative catalogue raisonné of his early work. The book also includes a conversation in which the artist looks back on his beginnings and discusses the aesthetic and social significance of those early years from today's vantage point.
