Summary: 'Printed in Germany' is the second volume in an ambitious series of books developed by Williams in conjunction with his first major museum survey, 'The Production Line of Happiness', a critically acclaimed exhibition co- organized for 2014-15 by The Art Institute of Chicago with The Museum of Modern Art, New York and Whitechapel Gallery, London. Following the first publication, an exhibition catalogue that relied more heavily on text than image, 'Printed in Germany' was conceived to exist as a stand-alone visual object and extend the artist's conceptual and aesthetic concerns into book form. A perfect companion to the first publication, it reproduces a carefully curated selection of the artist's painstakingly constructed photographs and features striking graphic design in the near-complete absence of language, with no essay, captions, or even a title page. Through clever manipulations of cropping, ordering, and pagination, 'Printed in Germany' offers readers an original aesthetic experience and comprehensive insight into the practice of one of today's most thought-provoking artists, while - through pure visual splendor - pushing the boundaries of the artist's book into new realms. As with all books in the series, it has been produced in three colors - yellow, red, and green - each of which features subtle differences in layout.
