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 contemporary art?
Contemporary art refers to avant-garde or innovative art created in the recent past or present day. The exact starting point of contemporary art varies depending on the institution, often tied to the founding year of museums or galleries that showcase the style. Contemporary art is characterized by its focus on current ideas, diverse media, and the exploration of new concepts and techniques.
