At the same time, the text is accessible, well translated, and aimed at a broad audience. Many of the works in the exhibit were conserved or cleaned, so the book features fresh illustrations and a hefty amount of technical discussion of specialist interest.

Hardcover. GR, Hatje Cantz, 1st, 2000, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, pictorial boards, oblong format, 80 pages. The Australian artist Tracey Moffatt is among the most carefully watched younger figures on the international scene. Of Aboriginal descent, Moffatt focuses on themes of the other, the unknown, the outcast, and the marginal. In her photographs and videos, she shows the complex interweaving of human relationships, forged by ethnic, social, and gender differences. Moffatt does not, however, aim to capture reality but to create her own reality. In her photographic work, the past, present, and future of the protagonists seem to gel together into a surreal simultaneity. Text in English and German by Brigitte Reinhardt, Stephan Berg, and Alexander Tolnay. Includes color and black and white illustrations. Clean copy.
