Galerie Requisite

This publication is the first major survey of the oeuvre of the German artist, musician and author Wolfgang Müller (b. 1957 in Wolfsburg). In 1980s West Berlin, Müller and Nikolaus Utermöhlen founded Die Tödliche Doris, a legendary post-punk band with an ever-changing cast that pushed the boundaries of artistic genres and media to ask fundamental questions about authenticity and identity. Müller’s subsequent work as a solo artist equally defies categorisation by consistently undermining expectations as regards art and recognisability. Revolving around recurring themes such as Iceland or ornithology, it uses a wide range of formats, from music, photography and film to radio plays, performances and writings. This book presents a curated selection of texts, images and documents, including a bibliography and a discography, as well as detachable autograph cards from various stages of Müller’s career.
