Hardback, fully illustrated, 80 pages, W310 x H245mm
This title has been published to accompany the most comprehensive
exhibition to date of work by German artist Christiane Baumgartner at
Ikon Gallery (July – September 2005). Exemplifying her preoccupation
with the passage of time, not only in the subject of her work, but also
embodied in its process, it will consist mainly of works on paper,
woodcut prints and photography, and video.
Based in Leipzig, a city
famous for printmaking, Baumgartner acknowledges the tradition she
springs from whilst developing an extraordinarily distinct practice.
Her woodcuts, with their conceptual rigour and visual impact, are some
of the most impressive art works being made in Germany today.
