Neuware -Timeless sculptures between presence and absence - an insight into the unique artistic world of Walter Moroder Walter Moroder is one of the most distinctive sculptors of our time. His life-size figures, which refuse any imitation of human existence, embody a state of waiting, silence, and stillness - creating a powerful interplay of presence and absence. This monograph presents, for the first time, a comprehensive overview of more than three decades of his artistic career. Structured into 16 chapters and enriched with large-format images, it allows readers to experience the depth and uniqueness of Moroder's work. Book Highlights: - Comprehensive monograph covering 30 years of artistic creation- Life-size sculptures of existential intensity- 16 chapters offering a clear overview and art-historical context- Large-format illustrations and sophisticated book design A must-have volume for collectors, art lovers, and anyone fascinated by the power of contemporary sculpture.Markus Klammer is an editor, art critic, and curator of numerous exhibitions of modern and contemporary art, with publications and texts on Heinz Gappmayr, Rémy Zaugg, Gerhard Merz, Michele Bernardi, Hugo Vallazza (selection). Hatje Cantz published his monograph on Gianpietro Carlesso in 2014. Markus Klammer lives and works in Bolzano (Italy).Walter Moroder (born 1963) comes from a renowned family of sculptors in Val Gardena (Italy). During his training, he went through all the stages of the region's craft and artistic tradition, only to leave them behind after studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich (graduating in 1988) and making a decisive decision about his future direction. His sculptural exploration of the forms of the human body confirms his affinity for classical sculpture, but in conjunction with a decidedly postmodern visual thinking that goes beyond figurative, abstract, or neo-expressive conventions. 256 pp. Englisch.…

Life-size full-body figures that reject any kind of imitation of human existence are the quintessence of Walter Moroder's oeuvre. The limitation of their physical existence to standing, waiting, crouching, and silence condenses into an existential wholeness of their identity with a discreet life of their own in the here and now. These are human-like figures with striking experiences of presence and absence and an affinity for classical sculpture.
This monograph offers a comprehensive overview of works from over thirty years, located in public and private settings. The structure in 16 chapters, accompanied by mostly full-page illustrations of the works, brings to life the specific and unique aspects of this work and illuminates overarching aspects of the aesthetic experience. The book design and the photographic images contribute significantly to this.
Walter Moroder (*1963) lives and works in Ortisei in Val Gardena (Italy).
