Artists' Books as Art Object and Medium
The Kunstpalais Erlangen presents “Fisher's Catch”, an exhibition featuring Karl Manfred Fischer's collection of artists' books, portfolios, and visual works. The focus is on an art form that resides between book, image carrier, collection, and standalone object.
The exhibition invites visitors to consider the artist's book not just as a container for texts or images. Rather, it is presented as an independent medium and a consciously designed object. Pages, sequences, formats, and the connection between image and material can play as important a role as the actual content. The presentation addresses the question of how artists' books influence perception and how visual works change through their incorporation into a book or portfolio.

The exhibition thus appeals to all those interested in contemporary art, graphic design, and unique forms of collecting.
