Where it came from
Published in 2000 by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König, this monograph provides a comprehensive survey of the work of German artist Wolfgang Laib. It was released to coincide with the artist’s mid-career period, a time when his meditative, material-based installations—particularly his signature pollen fields and beeswax chambers—were gaining significant international acclaim for their minimalist and ritualistic qualities.
The book functions as an essential reference for Laib’s unique aesthetic, which draws heavily from Eastern philosophies and an enduring connection to the natural world. It captures the essence of his practice, which emphasizes the labor-intensive process of gathering raw materials like hazelnut pollen, milk, and rice. The design mirrors the artist's own philosophy of silence and stillness, presenting his ephemeral works through restrained typography and high-quality photography that documents the relationship between his sculptures and their architectural environments.
