Isa Genzken: I'm Isa Genzken, the Only Female Fool

One of Germany's most influential contemporary sculptors, Isa Genzken chose
the title The Only Female Fool for this slender volume accompanying the
comprehensive exhibition of her work at the Kunsthalle Wien (2014), which
comes on the heels of her major retrospective at MoMA, New York. Her fascination
with architecture and space as social spheres is here explored in the collision of
the minimal and abstract urban high rise, the decorative clothing and mirrored
surfaces in her work from 1973 to the present. Genzken's collaboration with artists
Dan Graham, Gordon Matta-Clark, Jasper Johns, Gerhard Richter and Wolfgang
Tillmans is brought into focus in the accompanying essays by New York-based
theorist Joshua Decter and art historian Tom McDonough. Preface by curator
Nicolaus Schafhausen. This easy-to-carry pocket-sized catalog is an excellent go-to
publication on Genzken s work and history.
