Bernd Koberling, "ein Gesprach"

Published in 1984 by Edition Galerie Buchmann, this book captures a pivotal dialogue between the Swiss philosopher Armin Wildermuth and the German painter Bernd Koberling. Emerging from the vibrant atmosphere of the Berlin art scene in the early 1980s, the work serves as a primary text for understanding the intellectual underpinnings of the 'Neue Wilde' movement, in which Koberling played a significant role. The publication was intended to provide context for Koberling’s evocative, nature-focused expressionism, grounding his visceral aesthetic in a structured philosophical inquiry.

The book acts as a curated record of the intersection between contemporary European discourse and artistic practice during the mid-1980s. Designed with the minimalist precision typical of Galerie Buchmann's archival releases, the volume prioritized clarity and intellectual rigor. It was well-received within academic and art-collector circles of the time as an essential companion for interpreting the themes of landscape and subjective experience that defined Koberling's career, cementing its status as an important bibliographic resource for those tracking the evolution of postmodern German painting.
