A (Limited edition, Bilingual): Franz Erhard Walther

In 1958 at the Werkkunstschule in Offenbach, Franz Erhard Walther devised a typographical font without any diagonals. In this artists book he uses so-called Work Sets to form a letter on each page, facing a scene from his life between 1954 to 1973 on the opposite pagean encounter with Reiner Ruthenbeck and Jörg Immendorff, for example, or his first show at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Paging through, four se-quential Work Sets make an appearance, including The Body Draws and Sculptural Memory: on the left side, a hand-drawn letter in a mutable yellow, and on the right a drawing of a recollection originating in his photographic memory. This book, conceived and designed by the artist himself, is itself a work of art.
