Alexander Kluge: Schuber

Between 2021 and 2025, Spector Books published six small-format books with Alexander Kluge a total of three thousand pages printed on India paper. They demonstrate the full range of Kluges intellectual interests: from Napoleon, Hagen of Tronje, and Kant to Silicon Valley and the Caesars of Rome. Many of the books use annotation and commentary as a formal device, one characterized by concision and thoroughness. A number of them are collaborations with other authors and artists: Georg Baselitz, Katharina Grosse, Oskar Negt, and Jonathan Meese. The six volumes contain the essence of Kluges late work, a montage of literature, film, and interviews assembled within the pages of the book. The whole series was designed by Wolfgang Schwärzler. The most recent title was chosen as one of the most beautiful German books of 2025 in Stiftung Buchkunsts Best German Book Design competition. We have put all six volumes together in a slipcase, which is coming out in a limited edition of 100 copies. Alexander Kluge (1932-2026) was a screenwriter, film and television producer, writer, and philosopher, and one of the most influential exponents of New German Cinema.
