For more than 30 years, the German artist Isa Genzken (born 1948) has been amassing a body of work in sculpture, installation, photography, collage and film. As one of Germany's brightest stars in the art world, she was well suited to represent her country at the Venice Biennale in 2007, an occasion which this volume commemorates. The title of this book and of her installation at the German pavilion plays with the word's associations as a global and globally contested resource, through a series of sculptural installations invoking in particular America's dependence on oil.

This monograph on the German artist Isa Genzken presents her installation and sculptural work that, for over two decades, has been approaching the border with architecture by considering such issues as the interface between interior and exterior and questions of surface and fragility.

One of Germany's most influential contemporary sculptors, Isa Genzken chose the title The Only Female Fool for this slender volume accompanying the comprehensive exhibition of her work at the Kunsthalle Wien (2014), which comes on the heels of her major retrospective at MoMA, New York. Her fascination with architecture and space as social spheres is here explored in the collision of the minimal and abstract urban high rise, the decorative clothing and mirrored surfaces in her work from 1973 to the present. Genzken's collaboration with artists Dan Graham, Gordon Matta-Clark, Jasper Johns, Gerhard Richter and Wolfgang Tillmans is brought into focus in the accompanying essays by New York-based theorist Joshua Decter and art historian Tom McDonough. Preface by curator Nicolaus Schafhausen. This easy-to-carry pocket-sized catalog is an excellent go-to publication on Genzken s work and history.
