Ian Davenport, Günther Förg, Olav Christopher Jenssen, Imi Knoebel, Bernd Koberling.

Published in 1992 by Galerie Fahnemann in Berlin, this volume serves as a collaborative survey documenting the works of five significant contemporary artists: Ian Davenport, Günther Förg, Olav Christopher Jenssen, Imi Knoebel, and Bernd Koberling. The publication emerged during a period of intense activity for the gallery, which was instrumental in bridging the gap between German post-war abstraction and the international contemporary scene. By grouping these specific artists, the book highlights a shared dialogue regarding material process, color theory, and the legacy of minimalism within European painting.

The design of the catalog reflects the aesthetic sensibilities of the early nineties, favoring clean typography and generous plate layouts to emphasize the textural qualities of the featured works. As a representative document of Galerie Fahnemann’s exhibition program, the book was conceived to provide context for a multi-artist show that sought to situate the rigorous geometric traditions of Knoebel and Förg alongside the more lyrical or process-oriented approaches of their contemporaries. It remains a key reference for understanding the gallery's influence on the dissemination of European abstract art during that decade.
