“You shouldn’t make it crooked on purpose, but you shouldn’t make it straight on purpose, either. If you one hundred percent do not pay attention to technique or do not respect the material you’re handling, then as a result it can happen that you develop a high sensibility, for the material that is, because you are using it without intention. I have probably developed a great deal of sensibility for the materials by means of a complete lack of respect or knowledge. And because of that, the lack of respect possibly turns into high respect… in the results, that is.”

André Butzer. Set of 4 Screen Prints ‘Untitled I–IV’, 2022

Fusing European Expressionism with American pop culture, while taking in wide-ranging influences from the likes of Friedrich Hölderlin, Walt Disney, and Henry Ford, André Butzer has created a fascinating pictorial universe since the late 1990s. This exclusive set of screen prints focuses on his iconic character of the Woman, which is the guiding star at the center of his work.

The four screen prints in this exclusive limited-edition set of 100 copies were handmade from start to finish: each of the six colors was carefully mixed from real pigments and the screen prints were then hand-printed on handmade Somerset cotton paper. The paper, the printing process, as well as the inks are all CO2 neutral and organic.


Graceful and radiant, the figure of the Woman is André Butzer’s guiding star. Only she is able to reconcile an inhospitable world with the utopian place in space that is his NASAHEIM. She embodies the most confident sense of being and experienced living. Life finding consistency in artistic form. In suddenness and solidity Butzer’s lavishly realized screen prints come forth in simplicity and fullness alike. Every stroke and every patch of colors gleams as if painted by hand. Thus, fully immersed in color, the clear-sighted women stride along or delicately sway like golden-toned blossoms—constantly renewing the full scope of the stirrings of the heart.

Exclusively made for TASCHEN, this set of four screen prints includes the complete series: ‘Untitled I–IV’, 2022. Edition of 100 copies per print, each numbered, signed, and dated by André Butzer.

Also available as single screen prints: ‘Untitled I’, 2022, ‘Untitled II’, 2022, ‘Untitled III’, 2022, and ‘Untitled IV’, 2022, each numbered, signed, and dated by André Butzer
The artist

André Butzer was born in Stuttgart, Germany in 1973. For more than 25 years he has painted his way through the extremes of the 20th century, exploring art, politics, and pop culture. Paintings for him are “localizations of the greatest despair and the greatest hope,” which is exactly why “they come closest to the very joy and aid we are in dire need of.” After spending several years in California, he now lives in the southwest of Berlin and is one of the most internationally recognized painters of his generation.
