Jessica Stockholder: Vortex In The Play Of Theater With Real Passion

by Jessica Stockholder

Working at the interface between sculpture and painting Jessica Stockholder has, over recent years, developed a body of work of international significance. According to essayist Roland Wäspe, "A little Alice in Wonderland is the way you feel in one of Jessica Stockholder's environments." The artist uses cloth, metal grates, pastel flooring, and bright Lego blocks that colorfully translate a room into a bewitching three-dimensional painting one can walk into. This beautifully assembled catalogue documents Stockholder's works created at St. Gallen Art Museum. Extensive texts illuminate the origins of the work, and an extended interview with the artist gives insights into her thinking and achievements. Essays by Konrad Bitterli, Gerhard Mack and Roland Wäspe. Hardcover, 8.5 x 1.75 in./56 pgs / 20 color.
