Thomas Demand Ex Libris #9 screenprint of dry, wilted potted plant sculpture in stark light with window in background.

Screen print accompanied by a Book by Rudolf Carnap: "Scheinprobleme in der Philosophie. Das Fremdpsychische und der Realismusstreit" (Pseudo-Problems in Philosophy. The External World and the Debate on Realism); Release date: March 2006 Languages: German. Format: 24.3 × 16.3 cm. Edition of 200, signed and numbered. Ex Libris #9 (2006) by Thomas Demand is a screenprint accompanied by a reprint of Rudolf Carnap’s philosophical text Scheinprobleme in der Philosophie. The image depicts a desiccated, brown-leafed potted plant in stark lighting, evoking a sense of quiet decay and formal stillness. Characteristically, Demand photographs hyperreal paper constructions, and here, the artificiality of the object contrasts with the philosophical depth of Carnap’s treatise on pseudo-problems and realism. Part of the celebrated Ex Libris series, this edition highlights the personal intellectual influences on contemporary artists. The book and print are presented together in a signed, numbered edition of 200, giving new context and visibility to historical texts through an artist’s conceptual lens.

What is the Dusseldorf school of photography?

The Düsseldorf School of Photography refers to a group of photographers who studied under Bernd and Hilla Becher at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf during the 1970s. This group was known for its devotion to the black-and-white industrial images characteristic of the German tradition known as New Objectivity. The photographers focused on precise, methodical documentation of industrial structures, often using a detached and objective approach.
