Olaf Nicolai: mirador
$50.00
(available to order)
Summary:
This publication focuses on recent works by German artist Olaf Nicolai (born 1962), including his 2009 work "Mirador." Inspired by the eponymous observation point in Daniel Defoe's novel Robinson Crusoe, Nicolai traveled to the South Pacific to take a single photograph, of which only one copy was made, thus undoing assumptions of the photograph as a reproducible object.

Björn Braun: nest
$45.00
(available to order)
Summary:
For his paper collages, Björn Braun carefully cuts out photographs from old illustrated books and reassembles them in fresh ways: a mountain range might grow out of the shingles of a church roof. Braun's sculptural works follow a similar logic--nothing can be destroyed unless something new is created from it.

Summary:
Using solid square-bar steel, German sculptor Robert Schad creates drawings of movement in space. Rather than bend or shape the material, Schad welds together straight limb-like sections of varying lengths and strengths, imparting a paradoxical weightlessness to the works. Recalling human gestures such as sweeps and arches, these remarkable sculptures seem perpetually on(...)
