Art

Ich sehe was, was du nicht siehst, und das ist Kunst

Jakob Schwerdtfeger / German / 2023 / 192 Pages

Famous artworks often hide unexpected stories, like surreal clocks inspired by soft cheese, bird droppings on iconic paintings, and a Gerhard Richter piece turned into a tabletop. The quirky anecdotes relayed here reveal more than just art works—they uncover the personalities behind them. Blending art history with sharp wit, this is a fresh and entertaining look at art. From analysis and biography to absurdity, this book opens the door to a world where even skeptics can’t help but be curious. Insightful, surprising, and anything but boring.

Jakob Schwerdtfeger brings art to the stage like you've rarely seen it before: wild, witty, and wonderfully offbeat. Whether it’s melting clocks like cheese, bird droppings in Munch’s work, or Richter hiding under a Kippenberger table – art history becomes a comedy highlight here.
