The Helga and Walther Lauffs Collection

This two-volume catalogue documents the collection of Helga and Walter Lauffs, one of Europe’s most important private collections of 20th-century post-war art. Bridging the gap between European and American art movements, the Lauffs’ collection presents a focused overview of the art of the 1960s and 1970s. It includes iconic works that defined Pop Art, Arte Povera, New Realism, Minimalism, Post-Minimalism, and Conceptual Art, from artists including Joseph Beuys, Lee Bontecou, Christo, Lucio Fontana, Eva Hesse, Piero Manzoni, John McCracken, Bruce Nauman, Claes Oldenburg, Giulio Paulini, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Richard Serra, Cy Twombly, Tom Wesselmann, and many more. Featuring over 100 color illustrations alongside texts by Jeffrey Weiss, Béatrice Gross, and Gila Strobel, this clothbound, slipcased edition is a magnificant document of the Lauffs’ superlative collection.
