Know about the book -

Objects as History in Twentieth-century German Art is written by Peter Chametzky and published by Univ of California Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0520260422 (ISBN 10) and 9780520260429 (ISBN 13).

This book provides an overview of twentieth-century German art, focusing on some of the period's key works. In Peter Chametzky's innovative approach, these works become representatives rather than representations of twentieth-century history. Chametzky draws on both scholarly and popular sources to demonstrate how the works (and in some cases, the artists themselves) interacted with, and even enacted, historical events, processes, and ideas.--[book jacket].
