- Bismarck in America
-
Bismarck, Otto von: Founder and chancellor of the German empire in 1871. Few statesmen have ever been so excessively commemorated and monumentalised as Bismarck. Countless statues, streets and public buildings bear his name. Bismarck, North Dakota: A city in the Northwest of the United States, named after the German politician. Cunning settlers renamed the city in the 1870s to attract wealthy investors with its flashy name.
Today, over 50,000 people live in Bismarck, North Dakota's capital. It looks like any other American small city — at least to a German. The streets are clean. Its neighbourhoods are intact. Crime is rare. There are countless churches, yet there are no nightclubs. There's no memorial to the Iron Chancellor, but the prefix 'Bismarck' is all over the town:
Bank of Bismarck, Bismarck Hospital, Bismarck High School, Bismarck Auditorium, Bismarck Hair College ...
The myths surrounding Otto von Bismarck captivated photographer Dirk Reinartz for quite some time. In 1991 he published Bismarck. 0f the Memorials' Treason, a photographic inventory of Bismarck statues in Germany.
On his numerous trips throughout the United States, Reinartz frequently noticed a place named Bismarck, far north, featured in televised weather forecasts. The centennial anniversary of Bismarck's death gave him an occasion to visit and photograph the town, accompanied by author Wolfram Runkel.
Reinartz provides us with a particularly European view of North Dakota's capital. His images are uncommon pictures of a common place.

- Sculpture 1985-1998
- This comprehensive book encompasses all Richard Serra's work from the mid-1980s to the present day. Published to coincide with an exhibition at The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.

His work calls attention to power and purity of form itself and its capacity to make space coherent. Through the excellently reproduced photographs by Dirk Reinartz one realises that Serra's sculpture work will be one of the twentieth century's most significant contributions to the history of art.

- New York 1974
-
“These really are my best pictures!” Dirk Reinartz said to himself as he looked at the photographs of his trip to New York in 1974. He chose several for publication, but sadly died shortly thereafter. This book completes the project he began.
Reinartz’s New York photographs offer a highly personal tale of the city. Amongst the crush and crowds of people he discovered special characters and expressive faces and in the city that casts many shadows he captured a fascinating play of light. Reinartz’ photographs recall the atmosphere of a place which, in the middle of the 1970s, was full of promise and on the threshold of an urban revival.
