Stephan Huber

Gran Paradiso

Beauty, terror, grandeur, awe – the mountain world has always fascinated people. Stephan Huber climbs the snow-covered summits in miniature. In his sculptures he imitates the relief of the mountains and creates object-like works with a theatrical flair. This comprehensive volume reproduces the Alpine cosmos in the powerful images which have been the focus of Huber’s work for more than four decades.

description

You will find Stephan Huber’s "Mountains" everywhere: in museums like the Hamburger Kunsthalle, the Kunstmuseum in Bonn and the Messner Mountain Museum, and also as large-scale installations in the public space. His monumental contribution for the Biennale 1999 in Venice received international recognition. In addition to the famous snow-white sculptures of mountain peaks, the book also assembles early book objects, fictional expeditions, multiples and views of exhibitions. Essays and an extensive conversation with Reinhold Messner about the inner and outer mountain worlds round out the volume.
