Martin Kippenberger: METRO-NetMartin Kippenberger: METRO-Net

Published by Spector Books.
Edited by Marcus Andrew Hurttig, Stefan Weppelmann. Text by Marcus Andrew Hurttig.

In the early 1990s, Martin Kippenberger (1953–97) developed the idea of a global underground network: METRO-Net. Although it is one of the artist’s most fascinating projects, his premature death in 1997 meant that it could only be implemented in rudimentary form. In 1993, a metro entrance was built on the Greek island of Syros, followed by two more: one in 1995, in Dawson City in Canada, and the other in 1997, on the new Leipzig exhibition grounds. These structures proposed a means of traveling in the boundless space of the imagination: without the willingness to visualize tunnel tubes and moving underground trains, this project remains a “nonsensical building plan.” But the moment we accept the artwork as a mode of transport for “mind travelers,” then the full power of this work unfolds. Documented in this volume, Kippenberger’s METRO-Net was intended to counter life’s predictable, rationally oriented parameters with a romantic sense of the world.

The Artist and His Families

Published by J&L BOOKS.
By Susanne Kippenberger. Translated by Damion Searls.

Over the course of his 20-year career, Martin Kippenberger (1953-1997) cast himself alternately as hard-drinking carouser and confrontational art-world jester, thrusting these personae to the forefront of his prodigious creativity. He was also very much a player in the international art world of the 1970s right up until his death in 1997, commissioning work from artists such as Jeff Koons and Mike Kelley, and acting as unofficial ringleader to a generation of German artists. Written by the artist's sister, Susanne Kippenberger, this first English-language biography draws both from personal memories of their shared childhood and exhaustive interviews with Kippenberger's extended family of friends and colleagues in the art world. Kippenberger gives insight into the psychology and drive behind this playful and provocative artist. This is the eBook edition of Kippenberger, originally published in print form in January 2012.

Martin Kippenberger: The Happy End of Franz Kafka’s AmerikaMartin Kippenberger: The Happy End of Franz Kafka’s Amerika

Published by Walther König, Köln.
Text by Gisela Capitain, Lisa Franzen, Peter Gorschlüter, Rembert Hüser, Sarah Khan.

Widely considered Martin Kippenberger’s (1953–97) masterpiece, The Happy End of Franz Kafka’s "Amerika" explores a utopia of universal employment, based on a section from Kafka’s titular novel in which the protagonist, Karl Rossmann, applies for a job at the “biggest theater in the world”: “whoever wants to become an artist should sign up!” Kippenberger’s installation, set out on a stylized football pitch, is made up of 50 table-and-chair ensembles. Alongside classic design icons and found objects, it also includes furniture especially produced by Kippenberger, as well as pieces by numerous artist friends, including Cosima von Bonin, Tony Oursler, Ulrich Strothjohann and Jason Rhodes. This publication examines the work, and includes, for the first time, “biographies” of the individual objects, tracing the contexts of their creation, collection and integration into the installation. This volume therefore constitutes the definitive documentation of The Happy End of Franz Kafka’s "Amerika".

Martin Kippenberger: MOMAS ProjektMartin Kippenberger: MOMAS Projekt

Published by MAMCO Geneva.
Text by Daniel Baumann, Thierry Davila.

Not quite a “real” museum and not quite an installation piece of its own, the Museum of Modern Art Syros (MOMAS) was created in 1993 by German artist Martin Kippenberger (1953–97) as a private artists’ space that poked fun at the institutional value of museums. Kippenberger claimed the cement ruins of an abandoned building on the Greek island of Syros as the perfect site for his museum—the fact that there were no walls on which to hang any art did not matter to him, because no art was ever actually displayed. For seven years, Kippenberger assumed the role of museum director and annually invited a small group of friends to work on and exhibit their art in MOMAS. This publication provides the first comprehensive study of the project with Kippenberger’s original plans and interviews with the artists who attended MOMAS.

Martin Kippenberger's Magical Misery TourMartin Kippenberger's Magical Misery Tour

Photographs by Ursula Böckler

Published by Bierke.

Böckler, the artist’s assistant at the time, depicts Kippenberger dancing in bars, celebrating his 33rd birthday and performing for the camera. He collects material for his works and projects, and engages with the urban backdrop in Salvador de Bahia, Manaus or Recife, staging various “Aktionen” in public spaces. Böckler’s 150-plus images include her personal observations as well as Kippenberger’s ideas and performative interventions. The journey also includes the legendary ‘Aktion’ of the purchase of a beach-front petrol station that Kippenberger named the “Martin Bormann Tankstelle” (based on the theory that the Nazi war criminal had moved to South America and was now operating a petrol station).

Martin Kippenberger: Catalogue Raisonné of the Paintings, Volume Three 1987–1992Martin Kippenberger: Catalogue Raisonné of the Paintings, Volume Three 1987–1992

Published by Walther König, Köln.
Edited by Gisela Capitain, Regina Fiorito, Lisa Franzen. Text by Kirsty Bell, Michael Sanchez.

Although Martin Kippenberger (1953–97) was prolific in many mediums, it was in painting that his enduring achievements were made. His relationship to the medium was intensified by his feeling that he was working against “a perceived death of painting,” and that producing anything original was an impossibility. One famous instance of his tormented and irreverent attitude to painting was his integration of an all-gray abstract painting by Gerhard Richter (which he had purchased) into the top of a coffee table. The fruit of several years’ labor by Kippenberger’s estate, this third volume of the catalogue raisonné of Kippenberger’s paintings contains details of all works made from 1987 to 1992. The entries for these paintings include catalogue number, title, year, mediums, dimensions, inscriptions, provenance, exhibitions and bibliography. Each work is reproduced in full color, along with any relevant source materials (where applicable).

Martin Kippenberger: Eggman IIMartin Kippenberger: Eggman II

Published by Skarsdedt.
Text by Alan Licht.

One of the most versatile and prolific artists of the postwar era, Martin Kippenberger (1953–1997) has been the subject of numerous major exhibitions since his premature death at the age of 44. The last exhibition in his lifetime took place at the Städtisches Museum Abteiberg, in Mönchengladbach, Germany, and was titled Der Eiermann und seine Ausleger (The Eggman and his Outriggers). This publication focuses on nine paintings, a group of drawings and one sculpture that formed the center of this final exhibit, all of which were made in the last three years of Kippenberger’s life. These works explore the motif of the egg--a key theme throughout the artist’s career, deployed to variously reference rebirth, reproduction and circularity, and also used as a comic device: in one self-portrait, Kippenberger depicts himself as an eggman whose torso has expanded well beyond its youthful contours.

Utopia for Everyone

Published by Walther König, Köln.
Edited by Peter Pakesch. Text by Daniel Birnbaum, Martin Prinzhorn, Elisbeth Hirschmann.

Painter Christopher Wool has written, “Some of the best stand-up performance I ever saw was Martin [Kippenberger] telling jokes in the back of some bar or restaurant.” Which is not to dismiss the legendary German artist, who was at the forefront of the much-storied Cologne art scene of the early 1990s--Kippenberger, who died in 1997, used humor like a laser, to illuminate power structures and taboos. One of the most important artists of the twentieth century, he not only worked in a variety of media--painting, sculpture, books and multiples--but, taking a cue from Joseph Beuys, actively tried to conceive new possibilities on which to model an art practice. This volume, published for an exhibition at Austria’s acclaimed Kunsthaus Graz, includes incisive essays by curator and critic Daniel Birnbaum and linguist and writer Martin Prinzhorn, which examine the softer, more utopian side of the artist.

Martin KippenbergerMartin Kippenberger

Friedrich Christian Flick Collection

Published by DuMont.
Essay by Manfred Hermes. Foreword by Friedrich Christian Flick.

Beginning in the late 70s, Martin Kippenberger conceived his work as a point of intersection between artistic contexts and circulating ideas. With his characteristic blend of refinement and extreme crudity, he left very few of the problems and methods of twentieth-century art untouched. Via a postmodernist disposition, one combining humor, direct reference, communicativeness and body politics, Kippenberger seized upon the central artistic questions of the late twentieth century like virtually no other artist of his generation, and translated them into complex structures of communications. This is a beautiful and excitingly designed monograph containing reproductions of paintings, works on paper, sculpture, photographs and installation work, as well as a very strong reading of Kippenberger's work by Manfred Hermes. All of the work reproduced here is in the collection of Friedrich Christian Flick, one of the best in-depth assemblages of contemporary art in the world.

Syros, Paris Bar, and Dawson City

Published by nyehaus/foundation 20 21.
Edited by Tim Nye. Essays by Carol Eckman and David Nolan, and Michael Würthle.

Martin Kippenberger's trickster aesthetic was aided and abetted by the owners of his famed Berlin hangout, the Paris Bar. One proprietor, Michael Würthle, provided Kippenberger with a place to make art at his family's house on the island of Syros, Greece; the other, Reinald Nohal, owned a summer retreat in Canada's Yukon Territory, which the artist visited. In those two remote locations, Kippenberger conceived his worldwide subway network, Metro-Net, and built the first two entrances, should anyone decide to do the rest of the underground excavation and construction. The Bermuda Triangle documents in detail the planning and execution of this piece by the late high-art prankster, and reproduces the varied, accomplished, sometimes hilarious and devastatingly human drawings from the 80s and 90s, mostly on hotel stationery, from Würthle's collection. Its witty design is one Kippenberger would certainly have appreciated, its two volumes accompanied by a 'guerilla marketing kit' of two posters and an “I [heart] Kippenberger” bumper sticker, all contained in a cardboard box that converts to a display stand.

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.

Candida Höfer And Martin Kippenberger: Venice Biennale 2003Candida Höfer And Martin Kippenberger: Venice Biennale 2003

Published by Walther König, Köln.
Essay by Julian Heynen.

The curator in his essay and the two artists in their work have one thing in common: the question of space. In the 1990s, Kippenberger had the idea (documented here through drawings and a poster) of an underground network encircling the whole world. Opposite this, H‡fer's photographs show such interiors as MoMA, an underground station in Oslo, and the German pavilion at the Venice Biennale, all absent of any human presence.

Annotated Catalogue Raisonné Of The Books By Martin Kippenberger 1977-1997Annotated Catalogue Raisonné Of The Books By Martin Kippenberger 1977-1997

Published by D.A.P./Distributed Art Publishers.
Artwork by Alex Katz, Martin Kippenberger. Edited by Uwe Koch, Roberto Ohrt. Text by Diedrich Diederichsen.

Roberta Smith called him the “madcap bad boy of contemporary German art” and also “one of the three or four best German artists of the postwar period.” Martin Kippenberger disrupted the status quo throughout his brief, excessive life, not just by making art of every variety and medium but also by conducting an extended performance in the vicinity of art that involved running galleries, organizing exhibitions, collecting the work of his contemporaries and overseeing assistants. He published books and catalogues, played in a rock-and-roll band and cut records, ran a performance-art space during his early years in Berlin, became part owner of a restaurant in Los Angeles during six months he spent there preparing for an exhibition, and collaborated extensively with other artists. This particular volume considers his output of artist's books, as well as his exhibition catalogues and all the publications whose content he either created or edited. More than just documentation, this publication makes accessible for a wider public the multiple aspects of Kippenberger's books, with all the complexity and consequence of his oeuvre intact.
