  • More about Rene Wirths: ZEUG


The book ZEUG is a hybrid of an artist book and a catalogue raisonné that provides a complete overview of the works created by Berlin-based painter René Wirths since 2006. The works are sorted into groups based on formal and content-related criteria, robbing the motifs of their "authenticity" and becoming a phenomenological examination of the things that surround us.

Format: Hardback
Length: 296 pages
Publication date: 09 January 2023
Publisher: Kerber Verlag


The book ZEUG is a remarkable hybrid that combines the elements of an artist book and a catalogue raisonné, offering a comprehensive and in-depth exploration of the artistic works produced by the Berlin-based painter René Wirths since 2006. This publication goes beyond mere presentation, as it meticulously organizes the artist's creations into distinct groups, driven by a combination of formal and content-related criteria that often defy conventional expectations. Wirths, known for his painterly approach, possesses a unique ability to capture the essence of objects in his works, despite their remarkable hyperrealistic attention to detail. However, what sets Wirths apart is his ability to transcend the boundaries of realism and delve into the realm of color and abstraction. Through his artistic lens, the motifs depicted lose their perceived "authenticity," becoming a phenomenological examination of the surrounding world.

ZEUG takes this exploration further by proposing new perspectives and dimensions to Wirths's remarkable oeuvre. The book is meticulously crafted in three languages: English, German, and French, ensuring accessibility to a broad international audience. It serves as a valuable resource for art enthusiasts, scholars, and anyone seeking to delve deeper into the world of contemporary art.

In conclusion, ZEUG is a groundbreaking publication that showcases the artistic brilliance of René Wirths and provides a profound insight into his creative process. Through its innovative format and thoughtful content, this book offers a unique and enriching experience for anyone interested in contemporary art.
