Wolfgang Laib: Two Locations

Edited by Ulrich Krempel.

Wolfgang Laib's breathtaking and quietly beautiful artwork draws on the ritual life he leads in and with nature and its processes of becoming and forgetting. Laib's installations in Belvedere Castle, painstakingly documented in this book, afford access to one of the most privileged and poetical spaces of classic Weimar. Laib transports the space into the present, lending it both a sculptural and an imagistic dimension--the highlights include four wax ships, laid out on a simple support on the ground floor, that look as though they have been put aside for some later voyage whose destination is as yet uncertain. These magnificent works of art constitute some of the finest examples of Laib's ability to evoke the personal and human as well as the transcendental and the sublime.
