More about the book
Celebrate the 80th birthday of the seminal Austrian Modernist and conceptual artist Arnulf Rainer with this extensive exhibition catalog, an elegant, over-sized volume that offers a representative crosssection of his work - beginning with his earliest graphite sketches from the late 1940s and spanning six decades to the present. As Rudi Fuchs points out, Rainer was one of the first post-war Austrian artists to play a significant role in international Modernism. This historic book presents high-quality, full-color reproductions of Rainer's work - his exploration of dreams, insanity and extreme emotional states with oil over-paintings, self-portraits, death masks - as well as insight into his unique abstractions by editor Andrea Madesta and Buchner Prize-winning author Josef Winkler.
