André Butzer Book order

André Butzer is one of today’s most distinctive and influential painters. For the first time, this precious volume reveals a little-known side of his œuvre: 120 never-seen-before works on paper from 2001 until 2019. New and high-spirited scholarship sheds light upon his predominant themes and motives. Following his breakthrough works in the early 2000s, throughout the years, one is able to witness the artistic verve and intimacy, which bring forth his uncompromising mature style. »On paper«, Butzer says, »such things have more ease … like a note, they are more sporadic, incidental, faster«.

Linn has gathered a selection of press releases, letters, interviews and conversations, prose, and poetry by painter Butzer (born 1973). Cofounder of Academy Isotrop in Hamburg in the mid-'90s, and rose to become one of the internationally most influential and controversial painters after 2000.
