The monograph of the artist Eduard Tauss presents the series "Farbkörper" and "Offene Formen", which were created in recent years in an organic and material-gestural formulation. "The paint has freed itself from the pictorial carrier and, by means of its own malleable substance, becomes an expression of itself and serves as the subject of its contemplation in the space." Eduard Tauss' series of works arise in dialogue with or investigation of the material of synthetic resin and are situated in the art-historical context of the "extension of painting." Angela Stief offers a precise and comprehensive examination of his artistic production, while Florian Steininger focuses on Tauss' paintings of "Offene Formen". The essay "Embodying Colour" casts light on the historical ramifications of the term "autonomy of colour," and Manisha Jothady addresses the dissolution of the categorization of artistic genres. Paint which unfolds its organic-sculptural potential and manifests itself as a gesture of material or color.

Vasily Klyukin combines with his monumental, geometric-abstract, modular steel and polycarbonate structures (up to 6m) the precision of physical laws with the impulsive artistic gesture and with anthropological reflections on our time. The painted concentric and irregular metal structures address Klyukin's notions on the era of the Anthropocene and the conditio humana. Vasily Klyukin lives and works between Moscow and Monaco.

Peter Sandbichler is a versatile artist, whose work relentlessly revolves around a series of recurring parameters. By establishing an inverse relationship between the many associative images and a chronological index, this monograph offers a revealing overview of his oeuvre. This cross-sectional approach enables the reader to give equal consideration to each of the many media, while also underlining the extent to which the form of presentation is a decisive component of the artist's work. The book opens with four texts that shed light upon relevant aspects of his current projects from four very different perspectives.

Some individuals strikingly resemble the art they are viewing, and Stefan Draschan has developed a special perspective of these picturesque correspondences. While strolling through the museums of Europe, Draschan captured similarities between the works of art and the people looking at them, noticing similar colors, patterns, hairdos, or physical posture. The artist has created astonishing visual moments that can be comic, poetic, surprising, but never contrived. The series, which he began working on in 2015, initially started with photo competitions by the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin and the magazine art-Das Kunstmagazin. It immediately took off on the Internet, where the international communities on Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, and Instagram have liked and shared his photographs millions of times. Exhibitions followed, and now the latest pictures from the series are being published in a light-hearted gift book.Stefan Draschan is a photographer, bicycle activist, and flaneur. Born in Austria in 1979, he commutes between Vienna, Berlin, Naples, and Paris. Besides the series People Matching Artworks, he has published other successful blogs on photo series, such as People Sleeping in Museums, People Touching Artworks and Cars Matching Homes.
