During the 1970s, German artist Anna Oppermann (1940-1993) gained international fame for her "ensembles," which were shown at Documenta 6 (1977) and 8 (1987). Each began with a still life of found objects. Next drawings, photographs, pictures, more found objects and texts were added, evolving into large photo-canvases.

<p>Leon Battista Alberti’s 1435 treatise <i>De pictura</i> influenced generations of painters by suggesting that a painting should be approached as an open window. By the twentieth century, the window had transformed into a motif that would test the limits of painting. With his 1920 “Fresh Widow”--a replica of a French window with panes covered in black leather--Marcel Duchamp postulated a farewell to illusionist painting. This publication presents the development of window painting by artists such as Robert Delaunay, Henri Matisse, Marcel Duchamp, René Magritte, Ellsworth Kelly, Eva Hesse, Gerhard Richter and many others.</p>
