Heinz Mack

Heinz Mack sees an inherent relationship between sculptures, the space around them, and, above all, light, which plays such an important role in his painting. To me, the space is just as important as the sculpture that I put in it, and vice versa. I cannot imagine one without the other. For Mack, space and sculpture are inseparably linked. 'When I place a sculpture in a different space - be it indoors or out - its appearance will change every time. Ideally, a certain space, a certain light, and a certain viewer come together. This seems something that could be taken for granted, but it is not.' This book features finished projects, showing the reader the final work as well as the construction work necessary to place the sculptures in their final positions.
