Kinderbuch (1957) by Karin Sander and Dieter Roth is a minimalist mixed media work created in 2016. It features three cotton balls in distinct colors—blue, red, and black—carefully arranged on a white Din A4 paper, evoking simplicity and a playful tone reminiscent of children's books. The cotton balls' placement suggests a sense of spatial openness, inviting viewers to focus on color, form, and the textured contrast between the soft materials and the flat paper. This piece is part of a series of 50 unique works, each signed, dated, and numbered by the artist, underscoring its individuality within the larger collection.

Karin Sander (Germany, 1957) is a conceptual artist renowned for her site-specific interventions that challenge institutional and historical contexts. Utilizing diverse media—including painting, sculpture, and electronic formats—she reimagines familiar environments. Notable works include her 'Mailed Paintings,' canvases sent unprotected to exhibitions, accumulating travel traces as part of the artwork.

Form

Drawing / Watercolor

Drawing / WatercolorDrawing and watercolor are two traditional art techniques which stand alone as media, but are often used in conjunction with each other. Drawing can create the basic outlines for watercolor painting. Drawing over dried watercolor or using watercolor pencils are combined media techniques.

Medium

Mixed Media

Mixed MediaMixed media refers to artwork that incorporates more than one medium within a single piece. Unlike multimedia art, which combines distinct forms of visual art and often includes elements like sound, video, or digital media, mixed media focuses on combining traditional art materials, such as paint, ink, and collage. Mixed media art allows artists to achieve a wide range of effects and textures by layering and blending different materials.

I first conceptualize a work and then seek an appropriate technology in which to realize it.
- Karin Sander

Karin Sander (b. 1957 Germany) is a prominent German conceptual artist known for her innovative and thought-provoking works that explore the relationship between art, space, and the viewer. Sander’s practice spans installation, sculpture, and media art, often involving minimalist interventions that alter the perception of everyday objects and environments. One of her most notable series is the Polished Walls (1990-), where she meticulously sands and polishes sections of gallery walls until they become reflective, turning the architecture itself into a mirror-like surface that interacts with the viewer and the surrounding space. Sander’s work often engages with the institutional context of art, questioning the boundaries of what constitutes an artwork and how it is presented. Her approach is characterized by precision, subtlety, and a deep engagement with the physical and conceptual space. Sander’s work has been exhibited in major international museums and galleries, and she is considered a significant figure in contemporary conceptual art, pushing the limits of how art interacts with its environment and audience.
