description

Artist's book / exhibition catalogue published in conjunction with show held at Museum Ludwig, Cologne, November 28, 1993 - January 28, 1994. Featuring black-and-white reproductions of red cross posters of displaced children in Germany following world War II. "In a devastated post-war Germany, thousands of children were left displaced or homeless. They did not know how to find their parents, and in some cases did not even know their own name or age. The Red Cross took up their cause, and printed posters with their photographs and information on special characteristics in an attempt to find a family for them again." -- Christian Boltanski. Texts in English, French and German.
