Comprising over 40 volumes with the ambiguoustitle "Ernstes Spiel" (Serious Play), the planned catalogue raisonné of MichaelMüller's art is a unique undertaking. It will introduce the near inexhaustibleoeuvre with close collaboration from the artist himself, providing acomprehensive overview of the painting and graphic art, sculpture,installations and performances.
