Bøger af Ines Goldbach

Since the 1990s, Pia Fries has undisputedly been one of the leading international figures in painting. Born in Beromünster (CH) in 1955, the artist has lived in Düsseldorf since the 1980s and in recent years has worked as a professor at Berlin University of the Arts and the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. This publication was created to accompany Pia Fries's solo exhibition at Kunsthaus Baselland and is the first to combine current and historical exhibition photographs with a variety of different texts, including a literary text by Sophia Remer, an art history essay by journalist and author Niklaus Oberholzer, and a conversation between Pia Fries and Ines Goldbach.

This reader gathers 13 interviews with artists from different generations and backgrounds. Conducted in recent years, these conversations have always been associated with their solo exhibitions at Kunsthaus Baselland, where some were presenting their work for the first time. All conversations have opened up, thanks to the generosity on the part of the artists, new insights and findings on the main or secondaryapproaches within their artistic work. The purpose of this reader is to share with a broad readership the artistic ideas, as they often enable a wider or even entirely new understanding of an artist's work.After reading the book you could understand these talks as an invitation. An invitation to seek, examine, and experience an encounter with a particular artistic work, either once again or for the first time, and ultimately to prioritize your personal dialogue with the artwork over the spoken word.
