A landmark book documenting the first-ever art amusement park — launched in 1987 in Hamburg, Germany — published in English for the first time, in anticipation of its global reintroduction.
[details: Read More]
In the late 1980s, more than 30 of the era's most acclaimed artists, including Jean-Michel Basquiat, David Hockney, Roy Lichtenstein, Salvador Dali, and Keith Haring, designed unique and fully operational fairground attractions specifically for the original park. Rides, interactive sculptures, games, performances, music. An amusement park where every attraction was a work of art.
Each artist's contribution is documented in photographs showing the artist at work, details of the artworks, and the art in the context of the exhibition. Rare works that haven't been widely seen in 35 years, now collected in a single volume and available in English for the first time, with an updated preface.
One of the most extraordinary art projects of the twentieth century. Finally, the book it deserves.
