- The first publication of Günther Wizemann's Black Garden series
Günther Wizemann, born 1953 in Graz (Austria), came to Switzerland as a child in 1960. He graduated from Zurich's School of Design and has since been working as a painter and concept artist. Studying the Russian modernists raised the question of what he could possibly paint in the aftermath of Kazimir Malevich and Aleksander Rodchenko. Equally, Mario Merz's installation Che fare? or, as Barnett Newman put it, What to paint? were statements that became programmatic for Wizemann's work.
The 43 paintings of The Black Garden Wizemann has created between 2003 and 2013 are a possible response to his queries. Done in oil and resin on canvas, they are the result of lengthy artistic processes and a multitude of layers of paint, forming an inner and outer image space. Featured in its entirety for the first time in this new book, the paintings are published alongside essays placing Wizemann's largest series to date in art history. The accompanying texts reveal formal and conceptual relations, ranging from the Renaissance to his contemporaries. Starting from the title The Black Garden they also look at literary and philosophical connotations.
Text in English and German.

Book Description Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Günther Wizemann, 1953 in Graz geboren, lebt seit 1960 in der Schweiz. Nach seiner Ausbildung an der damaligen Kunstgewerbeschule der Stadt Zürich in den 1970er-Jahren ist er heute als Maler und Konzeptkünstler aktiv. Durch das Studium der russischen Moderne stellte sich ihm die Frage, was nach Malewitsch und Rodtschenko noch gemalt werden könne. Mario Merz' Neonarbeit «che fare » aus dem Jahr 1968 oder, wie Barnett Newman es formulierte, «What to paint » wurde auch für Wizemann programmatisch.Der Werkzyklus «Der schwarze Garten», entstanden 2003 bis 2013, ist eine mögliche Antwort darauf. Die 43 Gemälde, Öl und Kunstharz auf Leinwand, sind aus zeitintensiven malerischen Prozessen und einer Vielzahl von Farbschichten hervorgegangen, die einen Bildraum nach innen wie nach aussen konstruieren.Die Texte dieser Monografie ordnen Wizemanns bis anhin grösste Werkgruppe in die Kunstgeschichte ein und eröffnen eine Sicht auf mögliche formale und konzeptuelle Verwandtschaften, die von der Renaissance bis in die Gegenwart reichen. Ausgehend vom Titel Der schwarze Garten, wird zudem ein literaturgeschichtlicher Bogen zwischen Wizemanns uvre und manchen Fragen des Menschseins gespannt. Seller Inventory # 9783858815507
