Heinz Mack: A 21st century artist by Robert Fleck explores the extensive career of Heinz Mack (*1931), who has been a significant force in both sculpture and painting for over sixty years. From the ZERO period around 1960 to today, Mack's work is characterised by its deep engagement with light, structure, and colour. These elements are presented with often surprising perspectives.
The authors delve into Mack's continuous quest for a new conceptualisation of art, unveiling unexpected connections to Minimal Art, Land Art, Yves Klein, and Constantin Brancusi. This journey through Mack's rich oeuvre culminates in his fervent advocacy for the "idea of beauty in the 21st century".
As an artist, Heinz Mack has indelibly influenced contemporary art discourse. His pioneering vision has been pivotal in redefining art concepts since the post-war era. This volume provides the first comprehensive monograph, offering insights into Mack's philosophy of art alongside his diversified body of work, from the ZERO movement and the legendary Sahara Project to light art and his latest paintings.
