Hardcover. Zustand: Gut bis sehr gut. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Gut bis sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Hardcover, 8.5 x 11 in. / 264 pgs / 145 color. - Published to accompany a major retrospective exhibition and including 67 paintings, 12 sculptures and more than 60 drawings, Karel Appel: Retrospective demonstrates that Dutch artist Karel Appel (1921 2006) was much more than just a member of the avant-garde Cobra group, and more than the flamboyant personal image he cultivated. I m tackling two clichés, Franz Kaiser, the exhibition s curator, told The New York Times. One is that Appel was always identified with Cobra and the other one is that Karel was just messing around. Appel had a long and varied career before and after Cobra; the artist worked steadily until his death in 2006. Taking stock of Appel s entire oeuvre, this volume explores the artist s early interest in outsider art, his wide-ranging stylistic experiments and his highly individual interpretations of traditional genres such as the nude, the portrait and the landscape.
