4to, Colour illustrations. 79pp. A very good hardback copy. Born in 1960 in Leipzig, then East Germany, Rauch is part of a generation of artists who came of age in a war-torn, divided country. He spent his youth in the Eastern Bloc, and received his arts education at the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst in Leipzig. The impermeable border within Germany famously tempered the advance of Western avant-garde movements in the East, where figurative painting maintained its predominance.

Language: English, with German translation in insert. // Widely celebrated as one of the most influential figurative painters working today, Neo Rauch (b. 1960) is known for richly colored and elaborate paintings that contain a repertoire of invented characters, settings, objects, and motifs. At once realistic and familiar, enigmatic and inscrutable, his paintings often hint at broader narratives and histories, yet they are dreamlike and frequently contain disparate and overlapping spaces and forms. "At the Well", produced to coincide with the 2014 exhibition of Rauch's new works at David Zwirner in New York, brings together small and large format paintings that expand the artist's unique iconography of eccentric figures, animals, and hybrids within vaguely familiar but imaginary settings. This oversized catalogue?designed in close collaboration with the artist?is anchored by sixteen stunning plates and numerous 1:1 details that bring to life, and give viewers intimate access to, these compelling compositions. // 80 + 8 Pages; Format: 32,5 x 26,1 x 1,5 cm; book weight: 1050 g.
