“The artist book with 114 uncommentated reproductions of portraits of women (some with the author) is not typical of the Berlin-based Merve Verlag publishing programme, which normally focuses on theoretical texts. There is no text whatsoever. In order to reduce the number of words on the cover, Kippenberger even dropped his own first name. At the request of the author, the otherwise obligatory brief biographical outline of the author and the list of available publications on the inside covers were also replaced by pictures. Kippenberger left it to the printer to decide the order of illustrations.” Koch 2002
