Description

Swiss artist HR Giger's work is renowned for its dark, biomechanical aesthetic, which merged human and machine to create haunting images of power and psychedelia. This anniversary edition of Giger's life and art explores the artist's unique vision, from his sculptures and film design to iconic album covers and personal legacy. The book delves into the themes of Giger's oeuvre, with an in-depth essay by scholar Andreas J. Hirsch, drawing on contemporary quotes and the artist's own statements. An extensive biography provides a comprehensive look at Giger's life, from his early work to his unexpected death, and the heritage he left behind in his artist's museum and self-designed bar. With over 512 pages, this hardcover edition offers a detailed and intimate look at Giger's life and art, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in the artist's work.
