Description
This work is the first to offer a scholarly overview of contemporary paper art. It is concerned not with works on paper such as prints and drawings, but with sculptural works made from paper. Since the mid twentieth century European and North American artists have been working in the ephemeral medium of paper, previously considered 'unfit for art'. In the context of the cultural history of paper, the book investigates the extent to which the material itself carries meaning. Making, forming, cutting, stamping, folding, substituting, experimenting, destroying: each chapter illustrates a different way if working, from everyday applications to the detailed analysis of selected works by Robert Rauschenberg, David Hockney, Andreas von Weizsäcker, Jan Schoonhoven, Leo Erb, Günther Uecker, Henri Matisse, Felix Droese, Lore Bert and Oskar Holweck.In 2005 this study was awarded the Benvenuto Cellini Society's prize for the best dissertation in art history at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main.
