Highlights from a group show centering the internal world of the artistThis exhibition catalog accompanies a group show exploring a driving force behind contemporary creative output: inward focus and detachment from reality. In contemporary painting in particular, figuration and abstraction are increasingly muddled, giving way to new forms that merge materiality, meditation and visceral experience.

Published on the occasion of the 40 year anniversary of Galerie Max Hetzler, this volume documents the breadth of exhibitions held at the gallery since 1974. Tracking the gallery's move across Germany - from Stuttgart to Cologne to Berlin - Remember Everything takes the form of a documentary archive through conversations with 21 artists: Glenn Brown, Rineke Dijkstra, Jeff Koons, Albert Oehlen, Bridget Riley and Thomas Struth, amongst others. Alongside over 500 illustrations of recent exhibitions and historical material, texts by Jean-Marie Gallais and Julie Sylvester recount the gallery's history through personal observations. Drawn together, Remember Everything is an A-Z index of a singular gallery that, in turn, offers an illuminating account of contemporary art in Germany and abroad.
