From the bestselling author of All about Me, a summery yet melancholic photographic reverie of palms, pools and drinks
In Last Summer, the Zurich-based artist, writer and publisher Philipp Keel (born 1968) presents new still lifes and images of incidental poetry: pictures of palms, pools and drinks, depicted in a seemingly cool and summery mood. Common to them all is Keel's eye for details, and yet on closer inspection melancholy permeates many of his works. One of the great strengths of Keel's works is that they stay subtle and reserved.
Keel became internationally known for his bestselling book All about Me (1998), a comprehensive publication of his Imbue Print editions, and his Simple Diary series of journals. In 2014 he published the catalog State of Mind to accompany his exhibition at Villa Flor in the Engadine, featuring drawings, watercolors and silkscreen editions. Steidl published Keel's Color in 2003.
