Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
Laib's often unusual choice of media milk, bee pollen, beeswax make for works of art best appreciated in person rather than reproduced on paper (even when seen in the large, full-color, full-page illustrations shown here). Still, independent curator Ottmann gives a good overview of the artist's career and the thinking behind the sometimes enigmatic works. The catalog accompanies a retrospective traveling from Washington, DC, to Seattle, Dallas, Scottsdale, AZ, and San Diego. Also included in the catalog are two essays, an extensive interview with the artist, and a full bibliography. Recommended for larger collections of contemporary art. Martin R. Kalfatovic, Smithsonian Inst. Libs., Washington, DC

Kurzbeschreibung
Wolfgang Laib lives and works closely with the cycles of nature. His works are composed of natural materials that he collects and processes himself. In 1975, Wolfgang Laib created his first milk stone, in 1977, he started sifting pollen into "color miracles," brightly colored fields of pollen, or piling it into small "unsurmountable mountains"; in 1983, he began incorporating rice into his works; and in 1987, beeswax became a signature working material. Both sensual and fragile, his works project aesthetic as well as natural aspects of the transitory nature of our surroundings.
Texts by Klaus Ottmann and Margit Rowell, a conversation between the artist and Harald Szeemann and an illustrated biography make for the most comprehensive study of Wolfgang Laib´s art and philosophy.
The artist:
Wolfgang Laib, born 1950 in Metzingen. Laib is completely self- taught and has never formally studied art. After studying medicine and passing the state examination he decided not to become a doctor, but to concentrate on sculpture. Numerous exhibitions in Germany and abroad, including participation in the documenta 7 and 8 in Kassel and the Venice Biennale in 1983 and 1997. Lives and works in southern Germany.

Milkstones and pollen fields, houses and ships, wax chambers and staircases - Wolfgang Laib goes back to the archaic roots of religious feelings with perseverance.
He is crossing the frontiers of time and country, of religion and philosophy - and he is a pathfinder of the bridges between each other.
You can find the symbol of the ship (the river "Styx") in many cultures, also the staircase monuments, trying to reach the sky (Jacob's ladders or pyramids) - no matter if it is an Indian, Egyptian or South American sky.
Ritual performances like pouring out something wet like water or milk or pollen (pollen, collected in small pouches, is used by North American Navajos) is often a part of diverse lifestyles. You have to wash, if you enter a Moshe, you will use water, if you enter a Roman Catholic church. With milk everyone starts his life.
If we enter a "beeswax house sculpture" of Wolfgang Laib, we have something to smell, our sense of hearing is lessened and our skin is stimulated.
Margit Rowell, former chief curator at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, did the right thing, supporting this German artist, a mixture of Andy Goldsworthy and Joseph Beuys, Christo or Moore, trying to create visual basic subjects, helping us to contact our inner life.

Best book on laib so far
9. Januar 2001
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is the best of the numerous books that have come out on Wolfgang Laib in the last fifteen years. The essays are good, especially the one by Margit Rowell which places Laib in a historical perspective that doesn't only rely on the standard references of eastern thought. The book also contains a good timeline with pictures of things that have influenced Laib as well as images from previous shows. Many of the pieces and photographs have appeared in other publications but this is probably the most comprehensive. A marvelous artist who doesn't jibe with the times but whose vision is an antidote for much that is wrong in the art world.
