Karel Martens: Unbound (Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam) Flitsaanbieding

Unbound accompanies Karel Martens’ upcoming solo exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. The book brings together a wide-ranging body of work Karel made and collected over the entire span of his decades-long career. Containing works from the show, collaged, overprinted and juxtaposed with elements found around his studio, the book balances between being an artist book and a catalog. This publication, thoughtfully designed by Jordi de Vetten and Susu Lee in close collaboration with Martens himself, functions as a handbook to his work. But it’s an unconventional one: unstructured, non-hierarchical, playful, personal, and associative.
