In his book Die Hefte Berlin-based visual artist Stefan Marx provides a chronological trawl through his own artist books, which he has published prolifically over the last two decades.
This is a comprehensive volume containing book covers and technical information. It adds a light-hearted and colourful marker in the career of an artist most known for his illustrations and text art expressing his many humorous observations of the world. Influenced by 1990s skateboard culture and techno music, Marx’s monochromatic works serve as laid-back commentaries of modern society.
The title ‘Die Hefte’ (meaning 'booklet' in German) is taken from Marx’s gallery show with Karin Guenther in 2012.
