The fourth volume in the planned catalogue raisonné of Michael Müller's artistic work comprising over 40 volumes a unique project spanning decades - not only offers an overview of Müller's painterly oeuvre, but also functions as an exhibition catalogue. It is dedicated to the monumental painting Der geschenkte Tag, measuring over 6 x 65 m, which is was created for Michael Müller's solo exhibition at the Städel Museum in Frankfurt, 2022. The 24-part painting as well as the exhibition as a whole elaborate on the Greek myth of the twins Castor and Pollux, the Dioscuri, which has received little attention from art history or philology and philosophy to date. In addition to the history of the works' creation, a compilation of historical textual sources and an extensive interview with the artist, essays, and a lyrical composition by American literary scholar and translator Stanley Lombardo will update the story of the Dioscuri for the 21st century.
