Wolfgang Laib in an artistic dialogue with the masters of the Early Renaissance in Florence.
In 2019, Wolfgang Laib entered into an artistic dialogue with masterpieces by Fra Angelico, Leon Battista Alberti, Filippo Brunelleschi, and Benozzo Gozzoli. Following an invitation from the Museo Novecento in Florence, Laib created five works in four of the citys historical sites, including the convent of San Marco and the Pazzi Chapel. Laibs installations are philosophical and poetic works made of pollen and beeswax. In their juxtaposition with historic masterpieces, the delicate pollen sculptures and an imposing beeswax ziggurat create a contrast between present and past, physical place and endless space, and real and spiritual life.
In 2019, Wolfgang Laib entered into a dialogue with masterpieces by Fra Angelico, Leon Battista Alberti, Filippo Brunelleschi and Benozzo Gozzoli in his philosophical and poetic installations of pollen and beeswax. The publication documents impressively this unique and spectacular art event. Following an invitation from the Museo Novecento in Florence, Wolfgang Laib – one of the outstanding artists of the present day – created five works in four of the city’s main sights, including the convent of San Marco and the Pazzi Chapel. In their juxtaposition with the historic masterpieces, the delicate pollen sculptures and the imposing beeswax ziggurat cause the contrast between present and past, physical place and endless space, and real and spiritual life to become blurred and lead us towards the central questions of life.
