Pia Fries

More about the book

Since the 1990s, Pia Fries has undisputedly been one of the leading international figures in painting. Born in Beromünster (CH) in 1955, the artist has lived in Düsseldorf since the 1980s and in recent years has worked as a professor at Berlin University of the Arts and the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. This publication was created to accompany Pia Fries's solo exhibition at Kunsthaus Baselland and is the first to combine current and historical exhibition photographs with a variety of different texts, including a literary text by Sophia Remer, an art history essay by journalist and author Niklaus Oberholzer, and a conversation between Pia Fries and Ines Goldbach.
