Author Description

"'When different forms establish a relationship with one another, language emerges': this is how Josef Bauer, born in 1934, describes his artistic approach. In the late 1960s Bauer started to integrate letters and words into his sculptural works. the resulting narratives reflect on an abstract artistic level the contemporary protest against fossilized social structures, against the suppression of Nazi atrocitie, and for a tolerant, democratic society."--Book jacket
