Internationally renowned as a sculptor, here Stephan Balkenhol opens a unique window in time for us. Some of the "art family" he has created gather for a museum visit to pay tribute to the collection of Old Masters at Museum Wiesbaden. Like any important family occasion, the closest circle and the extended group – including some pet animals – meet across the generations for their visit, exchanging views on what they see. The result is an informal dialogue between contemporary art and its predecessors.

The artist’s book allows us to participate in this dialogue, and includes large-format illustrations as well as an interview with Stephan Balkenhol.
