"I am rather like a travelling salesman. I deal in ideas. I am far more to people than just someone who paints pictures. Martin Kippenberger (1953-1997) was one of the most complex artists of the 80s and 90s. His ouvre could not be reduced to any one medium. To him, sculpture, painting, photography, drawing, catalogues, invitation cards and posters were all equally valid forms of artistic expression and he constantly played off one against another in an output so prolific that it verged on the inflationary. His maxim was that good artists are never on holiday and he demanded the same total commitment from those who viewed his works. This book documents two decades of Martin Kippenberger's work in 400 illustrations."
