The Apocalyptic Warriors
The first monograph of Artists Anonymous. This publication examines the magnum opus, The Apocalyptic Warriors, which updates for our times the themes of famine, war and death traditionally associated with the Four Horsemen theme. Depicting the traditional "horsemen" and their contemporary companions like drugs, environmental damage and AIDS, the anthropomorphic personifications are incarnated in paintings, photographs, sculptures and videos.

German Art Now
German Art Now focuses on the extraordinary group of artists and photographers that emerged in Germany in the decades following the end of World War II, and whose wide-ranging themes and powerful aesthetic have established them as major figures on the world art stage.

They have developed new forms of expression in which to address these themes, and their impact on the fields of abstract and figurative art, Pop Art, photo-realism, and performance art has been significant. Similarities of background and generation bind them into a recognizable group, yet, as the authors show, their resistance to any similarities of subject matter, medium, style, or artistic persona continues to ensure their individuality.
