Don't beam me up is dedicated to the work of the German artist Johannes Geccelli, who was born in Königsberg in 1925 and died in Berlin in 2011. He began creating figurative works in the late 1940s. In the decades that followed, he developed his very own abstraction from this. Above all, the autonomous power of color shaped his work throughout his life. The author Eva Meyer-Hermann examines Geccelli's work in freely invented dialogs and explores its conceptual and sensual dimensions. The richly illustrated, high-quality book combines a narrative approach with in-depth research - an invitation to rediscover Geccelli's painting.

JOHANNES GECCELLI (1925-2011) was a painter, philosopher and educator. Born in Königsberg, the artist studied at the Düsseldorf Art Academy in the late 1940s. From the beginnings of realistic painting, the representational dissolved into an abstract color space in the following decades. From 1965 to 1988, Geccelli taught as a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in West Berlin.
