A Little Ramble: In the Spirit of Robert Walser is a project initiated
by the gallerist Donald Young, who saw in Walser an exemplary figure
through whom connections between art and literature could be discussed
anew. He invited a group of artists to respond to Walser's writing. A
Little Ramble is a result of that collaboration.
The artists have chosen stories by Robert Walser as well as excerpts
from Walks with Robert Walser, conversations with the writer recorded
by his guardian Carl Seelig. Much of this material appears in English
for the first time.Accompanying these pieces are over fifty color
artworks created specifically for this project, a preface by Donald
Young, and an afterword by Lynne Cooke.
