Product information "Museum für Konkrete Kunst Ingolstadt"

Folding has always been an important motif in non-representational art – and also a central technique. The relinquishing of central perspective in Cubism and later in Constructivism led to objects being broken up into facets and fragments in both painting and sculpture and depicted with their edges and fractures. In the meantime, not only paper and textiles are folded in art, but also metal, plastic, and ceramics – and even the canvas itself. In photography and film, the reproduced fold is often used as an illusionist deception. This catalog focuses primarily on contemporary artists whose works elevate the fold to a theme in its own right, thus touching on fundamental issues in Concrete and constructive art. Over 40 international artists demonstrate surprising, sensual, technical, or even comical aspects of folding.
