Reinhard Mucha

The long-awaited work monograph on the biennial and documenta artist Reinhard Mucha. … For me, things only become interesting when they contain some mysterious corner somewhere which continues to elude us. And so I am really rather sorry that Mucha was not included, because he is formally incredibly good and is nonetheless twice or three times as unfathomable. - Harald Szeemann, “Zeitinvestition zu knapp”, in: Kunstforum International, vol. 90, July–September 1987 The Düsseldorf artist Reinhard Mucha (b. 1950) exhibited his work at the Biennale in Venice in 1990 and at the documenta in Kassel in 1997. His work is regarded as one of the most important positions in contemporary art for his redefinition of sculpture, photography and installations. The catalogue accompanying the artist’s exhibition unites installations which have not been seen for many years with works from all creative phases, thereby sketching a panorama extending over forty years of artistic work. The overview volume was created in close cooperation with the artist.
