Presenting works biographies and chronologies of exhibitions the publication showcases a
number of artists in the Zander Collection that have recently drawn particular attention from
the art world. In this way it probes the question: Who is an artist-and who actually decides?
Charlotte Zander (1930-2014) was a devoted collector of works by artists without academic
training such as Margarethe Held Morris Hirshfield Séraphine Louis Henri Rousseau and Adolf
Wölfli. The selection of works for the book is based on the new presentation of the collection
at Schloss Bönnigheim in 2016-2017 curated by Susanne Pfeffer.
