Within the framework of the Frankfurt Book Fair 2019: Invitation from the Wienand Verlag
With:
Peter Iden, art and theatre critic
Dr. Mario Kramer, Heaf of Collection of the MMK
Prof Susanne Pfeffer, director of the MMK
Simon Strauss, historian, writer and journalist
Michael Wienand, publisher
In his new book Die Macht der Bilder: Texte zur Kunst der Gegenwart 1962–2019, Peter Iden – the founding director of the MMK from 1978 to 1989 – has compiled more than fifty texts on prominent figures and events in contemporary art. Illustrated with many of the Frankfurt art and theatre critic’s favourite works, the collection reads like a history of the international art scene from the 1960s to the present.
Following words of welcome by Prof Susanne Pfeffer and Michael Wienand, Peter Iden will introduce his new book in a conversation with Dr Mario Kramer and Simon Strauss.
