Lienhard von Monkiewitsch: Color and Space Published by Kerber. Edited and with foreword by Michael Schwarz. Text by Michael Schwarz, Elke Bippus, Ulrike Lehmann, Heino Möller, Michael Stoeber, Walter Vitt. This substantial monograph on the respected German Concrete artist features a selection of floor and skirting-board paintings from the late 60s and 70s, large-scale and multi-media architectural paintings, furniture, abstract geometric oils and acrylics and sculptural wall-works. A serious study of post-Constructivist color and space. In a 1992 text, von Monkiewitsch wrote, "Since 1968, a single theme has characterized my work: space. Whereas I used to use interior spaces or structures to suggest space with the aid of perspective, since 1985 I have attempted to do so using surface and color."
