Katharina Grosse
Wolke in Form eines Schwertes / Cloud in the Form of a Sword
Katharina Grosse (*1961) is considered to be one of the defining painters of her generation; her powerfully colourful interventions have had a determining effect on contemporary art dialogue. Grosse’s works cross the boundaries of space and concept with expansive gestures and enormous vitality and call for a new reception culture.

description
Katharina Grosse’s spectacular projects – as seen, for example, in the recent solo exhibitions in the Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin, the Baltimore Museum of Art and the Helsinki Art Museum – reveal a powerful and expansive painting that celebrates the processual, the ephemeral and the ostensible. The handsome publication presents an impressive series of recent paintings on canvas, for which the artist employed a new assemblage technique, using wooden elements she found near her New Zealand studio. Two essays lead the reader through Grosse’s multidimensional work and illustrate the broad creative spectrum of this exceptional artist’s oeuvre.
