A Meticulously Constructed Cosmos of Vegetative Architectures

Christiane Löhr: Symmetries of the Smooth (Bilingual edition) presents a unique cosmos of sculptures and installations crafted from natural materials. Christiane Löhr employs airborne seeds, plant stems, burrs, tree blossoms, horse, and dog hair in her organic-abstract repertoire of forms. She transforms these ephemeral materials into precisely constructed sculptures that surprise with their delicacy and expansiveness.

This comprehensive retrospective catalogue is an anthology of new and classic texts. It features new contributions by Julia Wallner, Jutta Mattern, Astrid von Asten, and Tiziano Scarpa, alongside insightful essays on the artist's work from the past decades. The texts are enriched by installation shots of Löhr's intricate sculptures, which create permeable spaces in the light-flooded building of the arp museum Bahnhof Rolandseck, designed by Richard Meier.
