Hollis Frampton: ADSVMVS ABSVMVS, in memory of Hollis William Frampton, Sr., 1913–1980, abest
The publication documents the first European solo presentation of conceptual photography by Hollis Frampton (1936–1984) at UG im Folkwang, Essen, in 2018. The book features reproductions of the eleventh edition of ADSVMVS ABSVMVS, in memory of Hollis William Frampton, Sr., 1913–1980, abest (1982) as well as a re-design of the exhibition brochure and installation views. The texts collected in this volume place ADSVMVS ABSVMVS in the history and theory of art, photography and exhibition making. The exhibition and catalog resulted from a collaboration between Freie Universität Berlin and Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen.
