No Drawing No Cry

Martin Kippenberger

No Drawing No Cry

description

A bittersweet artists' book published after Kippenberger's death to complete the Hotel-Hotel and Hotel-Hotel-Hotel trilogy. Whereas the two "Hotel" books are respite with his "Hotel" drawings, No Drawing No Cry contains only faithful reproductions of unadorned hotel letterhead. Pages and pages of it. Only one drawing can be found within. A woeful tale conceptualized by Martin prior to his death in 1997.
