Daniel Buren - Appear, seem, disappear

Art book, 1996, 144 pages with 70 illustrations, 50 of them in four colors, 22.0 x 27.5 cm, full cloth with dust jacket, thread-stitched | Since the end of the 1960s, Buren has been creating his works of art strictly related to the location; he was one of the first to use the term "in situ" to describe his artistic approach. Another important constant in his artistic work is the examination of the complex framework conditions of contemporary art, and in doing so the museum - as an institution as well as an architectural building - comes into focus. Finally, a third constant is Buren's concentration on a few formal means such as the succession of white and colored stripes, the installation of simple geometric spatial elements or the recently increasing use of mirrors and glass. This book documents all of Buren's works in which mirrors, glass and other transparent materials play a role and his installation in the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen.
