Description

Tomma Abts: A Painterly Exploration of Form and Meaning. This substantial monograph offers an in-depth examination of Tomma Abts's painting practice, exploring both its art-historical context and deeper philosophical and psychological dimensions. Through sixty works created over the past decade, the book provides a comprehensive overview of her career to date. The artist's use of fixed canvas size and vertical format allows for a rigorous deployment of basic formal elements, resulting in powerful and subtle works that are at once eccentric and thought-provoking. The accompanying essays contextualize Abts's work within an art-historical framework, while also examining the philosophical and psychological underpinnings of her creative process. Through its thoughtful design and insightful analysis, this book provides a unique perspective on Tomma Abts's innovative approach to painterly abstraction.
