Gerhard Rühm
hatje cantz
264 pp
A retrospective exhibition of works between drawing, visual poetry and visual music.
In autumn 2017, the Kunstforum Wien will be showing Gerhard Rühm, one of the last universal artists. As a composer, pianist, performer, writer and visual artist, Gerhard Rühm, who was born in Vienna in 1930 and now lives in Cologne, was a border crosser between the individual art disciplines long before terms such as »crossover« and »intermediality« were part of the good tone in artistic practice. In the space between word and image, of language and music, and of writing and drawing, Rühm seeks a constant expansion of medial forms of expression that break through viewing habits in a conceptual and humorous way.
The accompanying exhibition catalogue reveals the multi-layered facets of Rühm's trend-setting work with an extensive picture section, three essays from a (linguistic) philosophical and art-historical perspective as well as an interview with the artist.
