Franz Erhard Walther: Shifting Perspectives
Published by Hatje Cantz.
Edited with text by Jana Baumann. Text by Gregor Quack, Kolja Reichert, Gaëtane Verna.
The interrelationship of media and the participatory component of art are central to this career-spanning monograph of the work of German artist Franz Erhard Walther (born 1939). Proceeding from his earliest works, his Word Images, brightly colored monochrome works, to his influential First Work Set presented at the revolutionary Spaces show at MoMA in 1969, one of the earliest artworks designed to be manipulated by the public and on to his large scale textile works from the 1970s to now that combine aspects of performance, painting, sculpture and architecture, Shifting Perspectives demonstrates how Walther has pioneered intermedia and participatory art. This beautiful volume reflects the colorful textile materials that Walther picked up from pop art and has used throughout his career, with special colored page edges and a clothbound cover.

Franz Erhard Walther: 1. Werksatz
Published by MAMCO Geneva.
Text by Thierry Davila, Erik Verhagen.
In 1991, as MAMCO Geneva was preparing to open, founder and museum director Christian Bernard asked several artists to think about how they would like to sum up their practice for presentation in the museum. German artist Franz Erhard Walther (born 1939) proposed a “Werklager”—a storeroom containing works produced between 1961 and 1972. Walther’s “Werklager” has been on display at MAMCO Geneva almost without interruption since the museum opened more than 20 years ago.
At the heart of this collection is Walther’s 1. Werksatz, or First Work Set, series of wearable fabric objects from 1963–69. Walther described these objects as “instruments for processes”; activated by bodies (pulled through openings, connected by straps, tied and fastened in) or while they lay dormant, they constitute a form of participatory minimal sculpture. Emphasizing process and activation, these pieces circumvent “the seemingly inviolable contract that a work is an object produced by an artist,” as the artist put it. “I started conceiving my work out of an action, out of an act.” Franz Erhard Walther: 1. Werksatz, copublished with the Franz Erhard Walther Foundation, focuses on this groundbreaking series.
