Buchhandlung Walther König
Publications in the Context of Contemporary Art
For decades, the name Walther König has been synonymous with high-quality publications at the intersection of art, architecture, photography, and theory. The bookstore is a place to browse as well as a go-to destination for collectors, students, and specialists.
Walther König Bookstore is one of the most renowned bookstores specializing in art and architecture in the German-speaking world.
The collection ranges from international exhibition catalogs and monographs to artist books and theoretical texts. Many publications are produced in close collaboration with museums, institutions, and artists, and are closely tied to current exhibitions and discourses.
As a publisher and bookstore, Walther König has played a key role in shaping many influential movements in contemporary art—including artists such as Gerhard Richter, Sigmar Polke, and Lawrence Weiner. This close connection to art production and the exhibition scene also shapes the selection of books on site, making the bookstore a unique destination within the MuseumsQuartier.
