VON BONIN, Cosima; DIRIÉ, Clément (ed.)
Cosima von Bonin. Songs for Gay Dogs

Published to accompany the German artist's comprehensive exhibition at Mudam Luxembourg (October 2024–March 2025), Cosima von Bonin's new monograph Songs for Gay Dogs is both a book spanning her work of the last decade, and a personal journey into her private world and references, designed by her long-time friend and collaborator Yvonne Quirmbach.

Introduced by Mudam Director Bettina Steinbrügge, it assembles a play by Australian writer and art critic Estelle Hoy that brings to life Cosima von Bonin's recurring characters, an essay by Mudam curator Clémentine Proby about the carnivalesque in her work, a contribution by Pop journalist and Cologne figure Clara Dreschler, and a "Privato" chapter comprising images, texts, and documentation from the artist's personal archive. The book includes 200 illustrations, previously unseen images, and pictures of Cosima von Bonin's newly commissioned installation in Mudam's Grand Hall. [publisher's note]
