The Shop: Books, Art and Pretty Things

The artworks, the atmosphere, the joy, the interesting and the special can also be taken home – on paper. In close cooperation with the respective artist, we produce elaborate catalogs and artist books, which are as individual in form and content as the corresponding artworks themselves. You can find more details about the layout, authors and texts below under the individual title.

In keeping with the Municipal Art Collection, which specializes in multiplied art, some artists also produce graphics or multiples so that we can offer them to visitors to Kunstpalais. So far, one of a kind 3D-printed sculptures by Florian Meisenberg, a cap with LED lights by Alona Rodeh, and prints by Grace Weaver and Vivian Greven are available here.
People who like art also like to surround themselves with beautiful things, as we know from our own experience. That’s exactly the reason why Kunstpalais has a curator-curated museum store with jazzy, eye-catching, unconventional things that we’d like to own ourselves or would love to give as gifts: Jewelry made from laser-cut Plexiglas or crocheted yarn from Japan, England, and Australia, fine leather cooking aprons from the Netherlands, plant planets and gem galaxies from Denmark, special pieces of tableware and vases from ancient times – and whatever else we are able to find.
Our books, prints, and multiples can also be ordered online; everything else can be found exclusively on our store shelves in Kunstpalais until further notice. For urgent repeat orders or desires awakened via our Instagram account – we will gladly try to send you these things as well. 
Purchases with a value of up to 100 EUR will be sent to you on account within Germany. For purchase values over 100 EUR we send the good immediately after receipt of a proof of payment.

Jan Albers: cOLOny cOLOr

This catalog was published on the occasion of the exhibition Jan Albers: cOLOny cOLOr at Kunstpalais from July 10 until September 6, 2015 and in the Von der Heydt-Kunsthalle in Wuppertal from March 22 until June 28, 2015.

The artist Jan Albers (born in 1971), who lives in Düsseldorf, stretches „the bounds of painting”. He questions artistic strategies and passed down methods—by doing so, he is constantly searching for ways to add something new and unexpected to this art genre, which is repeatedly reported as being deceased. For a while now, Albers lets his works grow in size, they take up more space and become three-dimensional. He makes use of the most diverse materials, contradictory techniques and, last but not least, surprising colors.

For the exhibition cOLOny cOLOr, Albers ahances his wall objects by adding a selection of photographs, which he took during his travels around the world. The sights of megacities and natural phenomena, grid facades of skyscrapers and karstic rocky reefs correspond not only to his artworks, they also carry the viewer off unexpectedly into far away worlds.
