Where it came from
Published in 1988 by the New Museum of Contemporary Art, this catalog accompanied the first major United States survey of Swiss artist Markus Raetz. Edited by Marcia Tucker, the founding director of the museum, the publication serves as a scholarly record of Raetz’s engagement with perceptual phenomena, focusing on his sculpture, prints, and installations that challenge the viewer’s physical position in space.
The book captures the aesthetic ethos of the late 1980s New Museum, which prioritized experimental and conceptually rigorous art. It documents Raetz’s distinctive approach to visual illusion, where forms shift from abstraction to recognizable imagery depending on the perspective of the observer. The catalog was well received by the critical community for its ability to translate Raetz’s often ephemeral, light-sensitive works into a tangible, pedagogical format.
