Bernd Ackfeld: Amerikanische Impressionen Since the mid-seventies, Bernd Ackfeld has been using the driller as his chosen tool to rethink the transition between drawing and sculpture. For his latest exhibition at Pop;68 in Cologne he composed works that are dealing with the subject of America in one way or the other. The catalogue functions as an extension to the exhibition since it contains many works that were not shown at the gallery. 23,8 ×1   6 cm, 72 pages, offset, ISBN 978-3-00056473-4, 2017
