First edition of this programme / catalogue for the festival of modern art where Jorg Schlick had arranged for Kippenberger to be commissioned to design the publicity materials - MK died suddenly in advance but his photographs were used for the covers and images of the various materials. There is a short text by the director Christine Frisinghelli that pays homage to Kippenberger at the end and explains his role. Fine - this item really should be the last entry in the Koch catalogue raisonne of Kippenberger books but is for some reason missed out.

Scarce if late Kippenberger publication (the title translates to Forgotten Interior Design Problems at Home) which displays photographs of the various unmade beds of Martin - the problem seemingly to be how to make them up. Typical humorous artistÍs book. This example differs from out other example (see elsewhere on this website) in that title texts are missing from the cover illustration. The grass in the cover image is also less dark. Thus this differs from the book illustrated in the catalogue raisonnee. Perhaps a misprinting not meant to be released? Fine.
