Hans Ulrich Obrist & Robert Crumb: The Conversation Series

Published by Walther König, Köln

This out-of-sequence first volume in Hans Ulrich Obrist's Conversation Series is devoted to the influential cult comics artist, Robert Crumb-creator of Fritz the Cat, Zap Comics and Mr. Natural, among many other iconic underground mainstays. Both Obrist and Crumb are great conversationalists, and here they make a great match:
Obrist: Could you tell me a little bit about how you feel about America and world politics right now?
Crumb: Well, when I was young I really believed in the revolution. I don't really believe in revolution any more; I'm too old now. I think that any violent over-turning of a government or society causes a reaction that is bad or worse than the thing that they were revolting against to begin with... In the early 1970s I believed in that whole thing. I had basically left-wing sympathies but, I don't know, as someone said about communism: great idea, wrong species!

Robert Crumb: Yeah, But Isit Art? Yes, Of Course!

Essay by Alfred M. Fischer.
Published by Walther König, Köln

Call it inspiring, call it disgusting--the work of cartoonist Robert Crumb initiates dialogue, at the very least. This publication comes as close to a catalogue raisonnee of Crumb's work yet, spanning 40 years of drawings, from Mr. Natural to Fritz the Cat to Zap Comix--and back.
