Exhibition:
We are very happy to announce that all SF covers designed by Eyke Volkmer will be on display in an actual exhibition. Vernissage: September 20th, 2014
Location: Stadthaus, Ulm (Germany; http://stadthaus.ulm.de)
Catalog:
This tri-lingual collection catalog presents 162 science-fiction books of the series "Goldmanns Weltraum Taschenbücher" ('60ies & '70ies), with covers designed by Ge
rman illustrator Eyke Volkmer. It documents a very unique period in German science-fiction illustration that was almost forgotten. The 116 page book includes a long interview conducted with the illustrator in his former studio in Munich and comes with a full bibliography. All covers are presented through photos taken of the actual books with all their wear and tear to document my collection. The covers in this catalog are pictured in less than the original size. Want to see a video of me turning the pages in the real book? Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQ8w1lPvDP8
All possible copyright holders have been informed. The artwork is reproduced with kind permission by the artist. This collection catalog is dedicated to Eyke Volkmer and Wilhelm Goldmann. Thanks to:
Paolo Greco for the spanish translation. Stefan Werner for helping me with the recording of the interview.
