Add to basket4°. 130 S. mit 145 teils ganzseitigen bzw. farbigen Abbildungen. Illustrierter Okart. Im vorderen Einbanddeckel separat kalenderartig eingebunden "Chronologische Darstellung von Adolf Wölflis Leben und Werk". Bearbeitet von Elka Spoerri. (14 Bl.). Sehr gutes Exemplar. Zweite, überarbeitete Auflage des Kataloges der zuerst im Kun…stmuseum Bern gezeigten Wanderausstellung. Mit Beiträgen von Elka Spoerri (Kuratorin der Adolf-Wölfli-Stiftung im Kunstmuseum Bern), Harald Szeemann, Theodor Spoerri, Peter Bichsel u.a. "Der ehemalige Bauernknecht Adolf Wölfli, das berühmteste Beispiel eines schöpferischen Schizophrenen, hat erst nach Ausbruch der Krankheit während seines über 30jährigen Aufenthalts in der Irrenanstalt Waldau sein riesiges zeichnerisches, dichterisches und musikalisches Oeuvre geschaffen. Es fasziniert sowohl durch die reiche Vielfalt wie durch den gigantischen Umfang" (Aus dem Katalogtext zu einer Ausstellung der Galerie Stuker Bern 1984). Wölfli (1864-1930) lebte von 1895 bis zu seinem Tod in der Schweizer Nervenheilanstalt Waldau. Sein Psychiater Walter Morgenthaler schrieb 1921 ein erstes Buch über ihn, ein Werk, das erstmals einen an Schizophrenie leidenden Patienten als Künstler ernst nahm. Heute zählt man Wölfli zu den wichtigsten Vertretern der Art Brut, einem Sammelbegriff für autodidaktische Kunst von Laien, Kindern und geistig behinderten Menschen. Diese Bezeichnung prägte der französische Maler Jean Dubuffet, der auch als einer der Ersten 1948 in Paris 120 Zeichnungen Wölflis ausstellte. Beiliegend Zeitungsausschnitt zur Ausstellung. (Dass. 2. Exemplar wie oben. Abgesehen von marginaler, ganz minimaler Bräunung am Unterrand des Einbandkartons tadelloses Exemplar. EUR 32,00). Sprache: de.

Add to basketHard Cover. Condition: Very Good. This is a very good hardcover copy in the original illustrated boards. Completely clean inside and out. Slight wrinkle to last few pages lower edges. Text in English. This catalog was prepared for the exhibition at the MFA in 1976. Organized by Spoerri and a team of scholars including Harald Sze…emann, Markus Ratz, Peter Bichsel, among others. Illustrated in black & white throughout + 8 color plates. "Mrs. Spoerri, who sometimes jokingly referred to herself as ''Mrs. Wölfli,'' was a legend in the world of outsider art. She spent more than 20 years deciphering, transcribing, translating and indexing the often densely interwoven writing, iconography and musical scores of Wölfli, a prolific schizophrenic Swiss laborer. Consigned to Waldau, a psychiatric hospital in Bern, from the age of 30 to his death at 66 in 1930, Wölfli created thousands of drawings and 45 large illustrated books containing a total of nearly 25,000 pages. He was known in Switzerland during his lifetime but subsequently slipped into near oblivion. Mrs. Spoerri came to Wölfli's work through her husband, Theodor, a psychiatrist at Waldau who, at the invitation of the Swiss curator Harald Szeemann, helped reintroduce Wölfli's work to the art world at Documenta 5 in 1972. But Theodor, a cousin of the artist Daniel Spoerri, died in 1973, and Mrs. Spoerri became the chief guardian and interpreter of Wölfli's art". (from Spoerri's obituary, in the Times, written by Roberta Smith). Bibliography. Exhibition history. Documents. Reviews. 11" high X 8" wide, 123 pages. This book will be securely wrapped and packed in a sturdy box and sent with tracking.
