Kerber Verlag Patrick Kaufmann: Frequencies
From endless spaces to interiors, from ultramarine to cobalt blue: this book traces the development of Patrick Kaufmann’s (*1971) art over several cycles of paintings, all of which revolve around the theme of space. This comprehensive monograph also reflects his study of materials and their qualities, which leads ever closer to the essence in which spirit and material meet. More than any other, blue proves to be the colour that demands the presence of the artist, meaning a deep immersion in the self. It is the colour of transformation, which turns the process of painting into a simultaneous exploration of consciousness. Text in English and German.

Kerber Verlag Ruth Maria Obrist: the poetry of logic
There is a trace of timeless arithmetic validity in the work of Ruth Maria Obrist. Her objects and installations explore themes such as mathematics – chaos and order – space, void, proportion, and volume. Over the years, the ocean, too, caught between beauty, destruction and healing, has been a central theme. Ruth Maria Obrist’s works are of a profound materiality. Using bitumen, white glue, mercuchrome, gold or rust, she creates sensory surfaces that – formally reduced to the essential – exude a poetic ease. This book covers works from the years 2000 to 2021, including some of the numerous projects that Ruth Maria Obrist realised together with architects and in public spaces. Text in English and German.

Kerber Verlag Hans Thomann: Human - Body - Figure
The figure is a constant in the work of Hans Thomann (*1957). The sculptor is interested in the question of how people present and perceive themselves. Thomann sounds out cultural conceptions, which quite often turn out to be fragile illusions, in life-size human sculptures of figures from Superman and dwarves to Jesus. Ambivalence, just like humour, is one of the artist’s constant companions. With his works, which include numerous installations in public spaces and commercial premises, Hans Thomann continuously reflects on human existence. His examinations also comprise sacred spaces, in which he realises critical or provocative interventions. Text in English and German.
