Walter Pfeiffer: Vis-à-vis

The first ever overview of Pfeiffer’s lively artistic output across mediums from the 1970s to the present, from A to Z.

Inspired by the illustrated alphabets found in abecedariums, this new book on Walter Pfeiffer presents playful and illuminating insights into the Swiss artist’s practice from A to Z, annotated by Pfeiffer himself. The book also features new texts reflecting on five decades of Pfeiffer’s artistic output from an international group of curators, critics and writers. At once a meticulously crafted artist’s book and a comprehensive monograph, Walter Pfeiffer: Vis-à-vis demonstrates the artist’s sustained commitment to exquisite publications and extraordinary contribution to the history of photography.

Newly commissioned texts by Devrim Bayar, Dean Kissick, Meredith North, Jose Segebre, Wayne Koestenbaum.
