Offers new insight into the artists sources and his creative process.
Wolfgang Laib is a German artist, primarily known as a sculptor, whose work asks questions about how we deal with the natural world. This book offers new insight into some of the sources and drivers of his creative process. It brings together a group of texts that have long held particular importance for Laibs thinking and work, including passages from Gilgamesh, a poem by the Buddhist monk Bodhidharma, thoughts and aphorisms from Friedrich Nietzsche, and a quotation from the American artist Agnes Martin. Those texts are set in context with images that reveal them as sources of inspiration for his subtle art. The result is a book unlike any other, strikingly personal and beautiful.

An extraordinary collection of texts and images compiled by Wolfgang Laib. Wolfgang Laib: The Beginning of Something Else combines texts that are particularly important for the artist’s creative work, together with a variety of selected images. Included are, for example, passages from the "Epic of Gilgamesh", a poem by the Buddhist monk Bodhidharma, and thoughts by Friedrich Nietzsche. The texts and images are combined to create an unusual publication, which reflects Wolfgang Laib’s (b. 1950) interest in literature as well as some of the most important sources of inspiration for his sensitive work. This collection reveals Wolfgang Laib in a subtle and personal way. It sheds light on an artist whose work, which dates back to the 1970s, has questioned our treatment of nature, and thus could not be more topical.
