Monograph on the work of Paul Thek by Marietta Franke. Text in German. "The artistic work of Paul Thek (1933-1988), his handling of material, the 'nervous' sensitivity, simplicity, generosity and intelligent absurdity of his object inventions, sketches, gouaches, etc., especially his handling of large exhibition spaces, his turning away from 'white ideal gallery space' can be considered an artistic treasure in the context of the experimentally oriented 70s. His exhibitions turned out to be versatile and viewer-related systems that were psychologically (C.G. Jung) and religiously dimensioned (liturgy, mystical experiences). Thek's rejection of artistic egoism and preference for collective ideas prevailed modestly and almost tenderly. - 'Just love what you're doing!'" -- translation of text in German from back cover
