This title has been published to accompany the most comprehensive exhibition to date of work by German artist Christiane Baumgartner at Ikon Gallery (July – September 2005).

Exemplifying her preoccupation with the passage of time, not only in the subject of her work, but also embodied in its process, it will consist mainly of works on paper, woodcut prints and photography, and video. Based in Leipzig, a city famous for printmaking, Baumgartner acknowledges the tradition she springs from whilst developing an extraordinarily distinct practice. Her woodcuts, with their conceptual rigour and visual impact, are some of the most impressive art works being made in Germany today.
