Marie-Jo Lafontaine - Signed & numbered; Babylon Babies - 2003

Welcome to certainly one of the year’s highlights at Catawiki in relation to “signed art books”; stemming, on the one hand, from the estate of Karl Geyer! An art collector from Jülich, who, over almost 75 years, amassed about 100,000 drawings, autographs, art books and objects, and in the process befriended many artists, such as Gerhard Richter, Otto Piene, Janosch, Günther Uecker and many others!
And on the other hand from my private collection, which I have been able to assemble over many years.

In this auction, 100 hand-signed and in some cases even painted art and photo books by international artists are offered, such as by

- Gerhard Richter
- David Hockney
- Ellsworth Kelly
- Georg Baselitz
- Cornelia Schleime
- Wolfgang Tillmans
- Martin Eder
- Andreas Gursky
- Bridget Riley
- Wolfgang Mattheuer
- Bernhard Heisig
- Thomas Ruff
- Bernard Aubertin
- Anselm Kiefer
- Gunter Sachs
- Richard Long

and many more, with a starting minimum bid of 100.00 euros.

Don’t miss this extraordinary opportunity to obtain signed books by artists, some of whom are already deceased and possess legendary status!
