Katharina Grosse (Bilingual edition)

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. Grosses works cross the boundaries of space and concept with expansive gestures and enormous vitality and call for a new reception culture. Katharina Grosses 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 unfinished and the ostensible. The handsome publication presents impressive images which lead the reader through Grosses multidimensional work and illustrate the broad creative spectrum of this exceptional artists oeuvre through the most recent examples of her in-situ praxis.
