Books on Art, Art and Museum Library of the City of Cologne, Cologne 2004

Tobias Abel, an artist living and working in Cologne, has selected numerous books for the exhibition from the inventory of the Art and Museum Library of the City of Cologne as well as his own library. His selection was made less based on didactic or art historical interest, but rather it corresponds to his own pictorial thought processes, where painting is the starting point.

In his selection, Abel was particularly interested in the various types of non-representational art, with a certain understanding of color and form as specific artistic means. The exhibition presents books, catalogs and magazines on the work of international artists in the fields of Arte Povera, geometric abstraction, Concept Art, Minimal Art, monochromy, Radical Painting and Zero.
