Heinz Mack is one of Germany’s most important contemporary artists. As co-founder of the ZERO movement, he has long been deeply rooted in the European avant-garde, and his œuvre is an essential part of recent art history. This book presents the sculptural reliefs that are central to his artistic practice. Mack coined the term “light-relief” to describe his approach, a term that highlights the interplay between light and surface. With nearly three hundred color images, the book is the first to focus on Mack’s reliefs, presenting works from 1952 to the present, including reliefs created in stone, wood, and even sand.
Anlässlich seines 80. Geburtstags schaut der Bildhauer und Maler Heinz Mack zurück auf sein ereignisreiches Leben. Dieses Buch ist autobiografisch angelegt und gibt neben der Kunst, die immer Lebensmittelpunkt von Heinz Mack war und ist, Einblicke in seine Herkunft und Erfahrungen. In 14 reich bebilderten Kapiteln beleuchtet der Band die Lebensstationen Macks, besonders die prägende ZERO-Zeit, und entwirft ein luzides Spektrum seiner Lichtfaszination. Die Autoren, u. a. Johannes Cladders und Dieter Honisch, werfen schlaglichtartige Blicke auf Macks vielgestaltiges OEuvre. Sprachen: Deutsch, Englisch
