Publisher's Synopsis
Concept, installation, and process artist Franz Erhard Walther is one of the pioneers of international modern art of the post-war era. His 1. Werksatz, which was created in the 1960's, is widely recognized as one of the key works of German concept art. With his textile object formations he challenged viewers to become active themselves and experience his works not only visually, but also with their sense of touch. This richly illustrated volume offers insight into some of Walther's most important work complexes created between 1958 and 2009. Accompanying texts by Christoph Zuschlag, Rita E. Täuber, and many others provide a deeper knowledge of Walther's work, which is still highly influential today.
