Jan Pleitner: The Temperatures of Time
Jan Pleitner, born in Oldenburg in 1984, is a contemporary painter. After studying at the art academy Düsseldorf the artist is living and working in the Region of Ostfriesland in the North of Germany. He describes his psychedelic, abstract painting as "neo-expressionist" or as "scifi-expressionism". His processual and physical pictorial invention creates its own contemporary position somewhere between the waves and impulses of the subconscious and logical concepts of perception. Painting that cannot easily be subordinated to a category and tries in a very idiosyncratic way to open doors for a new consciousness. "The Temperatures of Time" is the artist's first publication that provides a retrospective overview of his early work from 2004-2020 with key exhibitions, main works and important stations in his creative work. The book is accompanied by an interview with Hannah Eckstein and texts by Christian Malycha and Declan Long.

Henning Strassburger: Die Unschuldigen
In the age of social media, Henning Strassburger, who studied at Kunstakademie Dusseldorf from 2006 to 2009, explores new perspectives, new approaches regarding habitus and new formal language rules. In addition to the strong charisma that pop culture quite obviously exudes on his work, one is immediately reminded of the dictum of Jasper Johns (1965) in that illusionist painting no longer needs any pictorial illusionism because it has now become an object itself; after all, the illusionary representation of an object, an actual object, had become obsolete with Pop Art. This is still valid today, albeit under different circumstances, which is why the exhibition organizer Max Dax is presenting the works of Henning Strassburger in the Hamburg exhibition HYPER also under the aspect that the flood of images on the Internet simulating realism provides an inexhaustible fund of object-like works in the sense of Johns. Accordingly, Henning Strassburger uses the teenage fantasies embodied by net idols as projection surfaces for abstract image motifs: the kiss of two female pop stars on the big stage just as much as the self-invention of a teen star as a tough macho-rapper.
Henning Strassburger
In his first monograph, German painter Henning Strassburger (born 1983) contemplates how painterly narration translates into today's digital reality, attempting to paint with and in "pictures," mimicking the reproduction inherent in seeing and painting in calligraphic abstractions.
Günther Förg: Works from the Friedrichs Collection
Presenting one of the most important private collections of Günther Förg (1952-2013), this book presents the full range of the artist's oeuvre, from his concise yet spontaneous abstract paintings to his rough sculptures that take painting into three dimensions, and his architectural photographs.

Being and Image
"For more than 20 years, Andr� Butzer (b. 1973), has been one of the most outstanding and internationally influential painters in Germany.Starting with an expressive figuration between cartoon and high culture in his early work, bit by bit he annihilated all superficial motival representation. Since 2010, he converges onto an absolute and non-objective, albeit existential understanding of painting.For the first time, this book gives a coherent survey of Andr� Butzer's oeuvre and shows the insistent consequence from its beginning in 1994 until today's so-called N-Paintings by which he questions the elementary relation between painting and our existence."
