Red Cloth-bound hardcover edition, Edition of 500 (from Edition of 1000 ) 4to. Approximately 44 unpaginated pages. A seminal artist's book by Lawrence Weiner, To Build a Square in the Rhineland exemplifies the artist's radical redefinition of sculpture as language. Published in 1995 on the occasion of Weiner's receipt of the Wolfgang Hahn Prize, the book functions both as an autonomous work and as an extension of his site-specific public installation of the same title in Cologne. This edition, produced in a limited run and printed on high-quality paper, mirrors Weiner's insistence that ideas themselves carry material presence. The understated design foregrounds language and structure, allowing the conceptual proposition to remain central. Presented in parallel English and German text, the book reflects Weiner's long-standing commitment to accessibility and translation, allowing meaning to shift subtly between languages. An epilogue by Reiner Speck situates the project within its institutional and urban context, while images and typographic elements reinforce the work's conceptual structure rather than illustrating it. As with much of Weiner's practice, the book does not document a sculpture so much as propose one: a square that may be built, imagined, or simply understood.…
