Peter Downsbrough ( 1940, New Jersey) studierte Kunst und Architektur und gilt gemeinsam mit Robert Barry, Sol Lewitt und Lawrence Weiner als einer der ersten konzeptionell arbeitenden Buchkünstler. Seit Anfang der 1970er-Jahre verbindet Peter Downsbrough Text und Strichzeichungen in seinen Büchern, später kamen Landkarten und Fotos vom städtischen Umfeld hinzu. In seinem konsequenten und scharf umrissenen uvre untersucht er die Bedeutung von "Raum" und "Ort". Die bibliophile Publikation ist eine Fortsetzung des Bandes Peter Downsbrough - The Books, der einen Überblick über die ersten 85 Publikationen bietet, die der Künstler im Zeitraum von 1968 bis 2010 veröffentlich hat. Addendum stellt im Sinne einer Aktualisierung und Erweiterung die 15 Bände vor, die seitdem erschienen sind.

Summary

Peter Downsbrough (*1940 in New Jersey) studied art and architecture and, like Robert Barry, Sol LeWitt, and Lawrence Weiner, is one of the artists who continue to use the book as another space to present their work. Since the early seventies, he has incorporated text and line drawings into his books, later integrating maps and photos of urban spaces. His consistent and sharply delineated oeuvre is devoted to examining the meaning of of space and place.
This book is a continuation of the title Peter Downsbrough - The Book(s), that gave an annotated overview of all the eighty-five books published since 1968 by and on the artist. Addendum provides an update and complement to this overview from 2011 with its newly released fifteen titles to date.
