Light on the Horizon surveys the output of German painter Peter Angermann (born 1945). Angermann's unique, cartoonlike paintings are playful and absurdist, at times featuring bears or skeletons in everyday situations. He is also known for his skill as a plein air landscape painter.
From Leora Laor of Jerusalem to Rineke Dijkstra of Amsterdam, 12 photo and video artists from Israel, Palestine and Europe illustrate the kaleidoscopic landscapes and life forms, the conflicts and issues of communication, between the diverse ethnic groups of Israel and Palestine.

Sigmar Polke is a highly exemplary Postmodernist and perhaps one the most indicative of a truly European avant-garde culture. This book presents a number of critiques which shed light on Polke’s otherwise bewildering display of stylistic references, apparent changes of allegiance and often unorthodox techniques of production.
For the re-opening of the Kaiser Wilhelm Museum in Krefeld in summer 2016, the largest and most well-known group of works in the opulent collection "Art after 1945" is being presented for the first time on a grand scale: from Informel and Zero via Pop Art and Minimalism to Conceptual and Land Art. In addition to painting and sculpture, photography, installation and video are also represented. The well-founded collection catalogue offers new and informed insight into the heart of this fascinating collection.
'Less is Still More' is a homage to Mies van der Rohe. In 2012-2013 British conceptual artist Michael Craig-Martin devised and painted a series of 17 paintings in highly varied formats specially for the Museum Haus Esters in Krefeld.
Linking the art genres, Anton Henning treats Modernism and Post-Modernism as peers, in developing interiors from purpose-built furniture and wall decorations, sculptures that question the status of painting, and paintings that delve into art history and everyday cliches. This publication is devoted to three site-specific installations by Henning.
The oeuvre of Karin Kneffel, one of Europe's most remarkable painters, is characterized in equal measure by continuity and intensity. Her pictorial language has consistently expanded since her beginnings as a master student of Gerhard Richter: extreme details, abrupt links between views from up close and from a distance, and irritating reflections are among the ingredients of her paintings that are dedicated to an ongoing questioning of reality. At first glance, her works appear realistic due to their attention to detail and illusionism. But certainty recedes upon closer examination--viewers almost literally get the rug pulled out from under them. Featuring texts by Martin Hentschel and Thomas Wagner, the present monograph focuses primarily on a cycle of paintings developed especially for Haus Esters in Krefeld that makes direct reference to the history of the brick villa built by Mies van der Rohe and addresses its existing spatial situations. Here as well, Karin Kneffel blends the present and the past, reality and fiction together in a highly virtuoso and irritating fashion.
