Description

"Since the early 1970s, the works of German sculptor and photographer Johannes Brus (born 1942) have addressed the dialectics of nature and culture, of strangers and their own and of the real and the surreal. This volume is published in conjunction with Johannes Brus' first solo exhibition in the United States at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Brus studied art at the Kunstakademie in Dusseldorf during Joseph Beuys tenure, alongside Sigmar Polke and Gerhard Richter, whose concerns with the reproduced image he shares. Of special importance are Brus' experiments with the medium of photography, which embraced everything that is traditionally not done in the darkroom. His works suggest a relation to the occult and are often infused with humor. In addition to the well-known photographic works, this volume also presents a selection of sculptures, thus representing the breadth of his oeuvre." -- Publisher's website
