Description
Hatje Cantz Painting and Sculpture From Classical Modern Art to Contemporary Art (AT)Publications of the Hilti Art Foundation Vol. 1 2015 Edition by Hilti Art Foundation, Angela Schneider, Uwe Wieczorek
The high-quality paintings and sculptures in the still surprisingly young Hilti Art Foundation are moving into a dignified new domicile in Vaduz, in the immediate vicinity of the Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein. The unobtrusively designed "white cube" by the architectural office Morger Dettli Architekten provides an appropriate setting for the collection's outstanding exhibits: the illustrious circle of artists represented in the first-class collection range from Georges Seurat and Paul Gauguin to Gunther Uecker and Imi Knoebel. Based on choice individual works, the volume graphically demonstrates the groundbreaking currents of twentieth-century art history-from Post-Impressionism and classic modern works to concrete art. The representative publication includes concise texts that expound on the art-historical rank of the individual precious items as well as large-format full-view and detail illustrations.
