Roni Horn: Rare Spellings: Selected Drawings / Zeichnungen 1985–1992 is a focused monograph documenting over eighty key works on paper by Roni Horn from the first phase of her drawing practice.

The publication accompanies an exhibition that highlighted Horn’s engagement with language, repetition, and visual form, showing how her drawings blur the boundary between text and image.

The works included range from delicate and playful line compositions to dense, enigmatic structures that evoke both linguistic patterning and organic growth. Horn’s drawing practice in this period reflected her interest in how repetition, variation, and process generate meaning, often allowing visual rhythm and textual ambiguity to feed into one another.

The catalogue is bilingual (English and German) and includes an introductory essay that situates these works within Horn’s broader artistic concerns. The reproductions, printed in full color, allow the subtle tonalities and material qualities of the original drawings to be appreciated.
