Katharina Grosse - Why Three Tones Do Not Form a Triangle

The new, multi-dimensional work of exceptional artist Katharina Grosse, in opulent photographs.

One of the most talked about contemporary artists at the moment, Katharina Grosse (b. 1961) has created walkable artworks in three historical spaces within the Albertina in Vienna, Austria. The shimmering color fields extend across the walls, ceiling, and floor, crossing spatial and conceptual boundaries. Their power, intensity, and sheer size are overwhelming. Katharina Grosse documents this three-dimensional image world with detailed photos of the installations and pictures from the studio. Expansion and permanent boundary-crossing, freedom, and autonomy form the basis of Grosse’s oeuvre. Her creative work is as experimental and unpredictable as untamed thoughts. Numerous photos from the artist’s personal archive provide an insight into her working methods and sources of inspiration, as well as the processes by which she develops her ideas.
