Marianne Eigenheer: A Lifelong Search Along the Lines
A fascinating and long-overdue study of the
artist's work spanning five decades of her diverse practice, this
comprehensive and thought-provoking book provides
an overview of Marianne's oeuvre. It also creates dialogues between different
periods of her work by presenting them alongside one another - many shown
this way for the first time in print. From her spontaneous, gesturally abstract
drawings of the 1970s, to her bolder, more defined, large-scale drawings that gained public attention at the 1980
Venice Biennale, to her lesser-known sculptural and photographic works,
to the wall painting created for Kunstmuseum Basel in 2018 - this book spans
the artist's creative scope.
The characteristic linear forms that
underscore Marianne's practice come from the meditative process of
drawing she developed in her lifetime, whereby she externalised her personal
experiences onto paper. Marianne Eigenheer
documents beautifully how the
artist created a highly distinctive and recognisable visual language by working in this way throughout her
career. The book also features a
selection of essays by a diverse group of writers that discuss and explore the
different aspects of Marianne's practice, shining a light on her work as
artist, writer, curator and teacher.
