This elaborately designed book features over two hundred of A.R. Penck's paintings, drawings and sculptures, some of them reproduced here for the first time. Together, they provide an excellent retrospective of the works of an artist who paved the way for a new concept of art in Germany after World War II. A. R. Penck - How it works is impressive proof that Penck was an artist who sought freedom and found it. Text: Danièle Cohn, Eddy Devolder, Hans Janssen, Ulf Jensen, Katharina Neuburger, A. R. Penck, Benno Tempel.
