Boris Mikhailov is regarded as one of the most important artists in contemporary photography. His latest artist's book is dedicated to the hitherto little-known work Series of Four, which he produced in his hometown Kharkiv (USSR) in the early 1980s. The photographs exemplify Mikhailov as an attentive observer of the Soviet world, beyond the official ideology in a time of perceived stagnation, but also as an experimental artist in the environment of the Moscow Conceptualists. With more than 150 image groups and a text by Luisa Heese, the book offers for the first time a comprehensive overview of the Series of Four. It accompanies the solo exhibition Boris Mikhailov:00Exhibition: Staatliche Kunsthalle Baden-Baden, Germany (16.11.2019 - 09.02.2020).

Alina Szapocznikow (1926-1973) created an extensive and expressive oeuvre, in which she was intensively concerned with the human body, right up to her untimely death. In her sculptures, photographs and drawings she divided female bodies in particular into fragments such as lips, breasts, stomachs and limbs, to put them back together again in new ways and to integrate them as traces in her work. Her own body often found its way into the work in the form of casts. Having previously worked with classical materials such as bronze, she began to experiment with new materials such as polyester after arriving in Paris and mixing with the circle of Nouveaux Réalistes artists. With this she revolutionised the expressive possibilities of sculpture. This catalogue traces this artistic development by means of work from between 1954 and 1973, from early figurative sculptures to the "awkward objects" which are strongly influenced by surrealism and pop art.
