(RAUCH, NEO). Szeeman, Harald, Daniel Birnbaum & Lynne Cooke. NEO RAUCH. Maastricht, THE NETHERLANDS, & Ostfildern, GERMANY: Bonnefantenmuseum & Cantz Verlag, 2002. First Edition. 4to. Illustrated Self-Wrappers. Artist Monograph. Fine. 144pp, 66 color illustrations. Text in German and English. This is the comprehensive catalogue published in conjunction with the noted Leipzig-based artist having received the 2002 Vincent Van Gogh Bi-Annual Award for Contemporary Art in Europe. "One of the most original artists of his generation, Neo Rauch's paintings appear disturbingly detached and yet familiar, their figures, objects, and mood seemingly borrowed from old advertising posters, dusty book jackets, and forgotten comics. Rauch's formulistic visual symbols suggest a more profound meaning, yet it is difficult to decipher their message. The tension lurking under their almost frozen surfaces, washed with dusky, sinister colors, is fueled by paradox: as vivid as the structure of the work comes across, the impression is rigid; as powerful as the strokes of broken colors are, they appear faded, from bygone times". A most handsome example. 3-7757-1243-7 Inventory Number: 017481.

Seller's Description:
Very good. Neo Rauch, 1960 in Leipzig geboren, gehört zu den eigenwilligsten Malern seiner Generation. Seine Bilder wirken auf beunruhigende Art entrückt und vertraut, denn die Figuren, Gegenstände und die Stimmung scheinen alten Werbeplakaten, verstaubten Buchtiteln oder vergessenen Comics zu entstammen. Rauchs formelhafte Bildzeichen suggerieren eine tiefergehende Bedeutung, doch es fällt schwer, ihre Botschaft zu entziffern. Die Spannung, die unter der fast eingefrorenen Oberfläche lauert, lebt von ParadoxienSo bewegt der Bildaufbau sich darstellt, so starr ist der Eindruck; so gebrochen die Farben eigentlich sind, so kräftig wirken sie doch. Neo Rauch erhält im Jahr 2002 in Maastricht "The Vincent", den Vincent van Gogh Bi-annual Award for Contemporary Art, anlässlich dessen Verleihung diese Publikation erscheint. Das Werk des Künstlers wird mit 65 Bildern, die zwischen 1993 bis 2002 entstanden sind, umfassend dargestellt. Synopsis: Neo Rauch was born in Leipzig in 1960, where he still lives today.
