Malereikonkrethochdrei

The history of painting is a history of transgression. Starting at the beginning of modernity, artists again and again broke through the two-dimensionality of the surface, until the picture finally thrust out into real space as an object-like “event.” Malereikonkrethochdrei presents twelve international artists who made a significant contribution to this history. With its direct comparison of the different viewpoints and concepts, this book provides a key to comprehending space-related and / or spatial painting within the context of contemporary art.
