Collecting new paintings and writings by Amsterdam-based American painter Jo Baer (born 1929), Up Close in the Land of the Giants was created as a deliberate sibling to Baer's 2013 exhibition catalog In the Land of the Giants, which was published on the occasion of the artist's eponymously titled dual exhibition at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, May 6 - September 1, 2013 and the Ludwig Museum Cologne.
