Erstausgabe München/ Köln: Lenbachhaus/ Oktagon Verlag 1997. - “Started in 1962 when the artist decided to assemble a series of photographs that he had either collected as potential sources for paintings or simply found engaging. ‘Atlas’ evolved into an ongoing project that currently includes some 5000 photographs organized and displayed on hundreds of panels. Its images range from political portraits to landscapes, from found journalistic pictures to photographs taken by the artist himself.
