“Whenever I reach an impasse with my painting, which happens time and time again, sculpture always offers me a way out.” —Max Ernst
Penetrating analyses by renowned Max Ernst scholar Jürgen Pech accompany each of the fifteen sculptures reproduced in this catalogue, published on the occasion of the career-spanning survey of Ernst’s sculptural works presented at the gallery in 2015. Gorgeous plate photography, a wealth of archival images and texts, and an illuminating introduction by Michele Wijegoonaratna present the reader with a richly-detailed understanding of Ernst’s sculptural work.
