Katharina Grosse

Why Three Tones Do Not Form a Triangle

Expansion and the permanent crossing of boundaries, freedom and autonomy form the cornerstones of Grosse’s (* 1961) oeuvre. Her creative work is experimental and unpredictable. With many photos from the artist’s private archive this volumes provides a profound insight into her working method, her sources of inspiration and the processes through which she generates her ideas.

description

Katharina Grosse creates walkable artworks in three historic spaces at the Albertina in Vienna. The vibrating colours extend across the walls, ceilings and floors, crossing spatial and intellectual boundaries. They overwhelm by virtue of their power, intensity and sheer size. The catalogue documents the three-dimensional pictorial world with installation photos that are rich in detail and images from the artist’s studio.
