The book presents a selection of pictures made by the Mexican-German maker Franz Egon von Fürstenberg between 1974 and 2018: an unmissable memory of the contemporary art world, of its feelings and relationships, of moments of joy and of effort, of encounters, of the sense of belonging to a community and at the same time of the creative solitude of the artist.

These are moments often missed by the news, by the media, by catalogues and by art history, but caught by an observer who followed the evolution of contemporary research closely.
