Jean-Michel Othoniel

von , ,

The groundbreaking sculptor’s most comprehensive monograph to date
Jean-Michel Othoniel is an artist who creates
sculptures that explore themes of fragility,
transformation, and ephemerality. Using the
repetition of such modular elements as bricks
or beads, his work deploys various strategies
that hint at loss and despair „; cracks in his
objects‘ perfect surfaces, negative spaces and,
early in his career, transient materials such as
sulfur. The most authoritative study of the
artist’s work to date, it includes intimate gallery
pieces as well as monumental public
commissions around the world.
