商品描述
A tribute to Elisabeth Wild's kaleidoscopic and vibrant collages, with contributions that frame the importance of this singular artist's work and life. This beautifully designed monograph exhibits Elisabeth Wild's kaleidoscopic and vibrant collages. Using cutouts of commercial imagery from glossy magazines, Wild composes a dimensionless reality that is witty yet menacing, ancient yet immortal. Imagining figures that are structural and anatomical, her work presents a shimmering dream logic. Wooden totems and stone altars, woven rugs, and precious stones are the cosmic architectural inhabitants that unveil the artist's fantasies. Along with Wild's collages, this volume includes contributions by poet Negma Coy, curator Adam Szymczyk, art educator and writer Barbara Casavecchia, art historian and critic Noit Banai, and gallerist Karolina Dankow of Karma International, all which frame the importance of this singular artist's work and life.
Born in Austria, Elisabeth Wild (1922-2020) fled to Argentina during WWII with her parents. In 1962 the family escaped the regime of Juan Peron and found a new home in Basel, Switzerland. Wild opened an antique shop at St. Johannstor which became the outlet for her creativity at the time and also supported her and her family financially. Until her death at the age of 98, Wild was carefully crafting her light-hearted, joyous abstract worlds walking the line between construction and deconstruction. Alongside her daughter, Vivian Suter, Wild has exhibited at Kunsthalle Basel, documenta 14, and the Powerplant in Toronto.

向 Elisabeth Wild 變幻多姿、充滿活力的拼貼作品致敬；本書收錄多篇文章，闡述這位獨特藝術家的作品與生命歷程的重要性。
這本設計精美的專著展示了 Elisabeth Wild 變幻多姿、充滿活力的拼貼作品。Wild 運用光面雜誌中的商業影像剪裁，構築出一個機智卻帶有威脅、古老卻又永恆的無維度現實。她想像著兼具結構性與解剖性的形體，作品展現出閃爍的夢境邏輯。木製圖騰與石造祭壇、編織地毯和珍貴寶石，構成了揭示藝術家幻想的宇宙建築居民。除 Wild 的拼貼作品外，本書亦收錄詩人 Negma Coy、策展人 Adam Szymczyk、藝術教育家暨作家 Barbara Casavecchia、藝術史家暨評論家 Noit Banai，以及 Karma International 畫廊經營者 Karolina Dankow 的文章，從不同角度闡述這位獨特藝術家的作品與生命歷程的重要性。
Elisabeth Wild（1922–2020）出生於奧地利，第二次世界大戰期間與父母逃往阿根廷。1962 年，這個家庭逃離 Juan Perón 的政權，在瑞士巴塞爾找到新家。Wild 曾在 St. Johannstor 開設古董店，這間店當時成為她發揮創意的場所，也為她和家人提供經濟支援。直到 98 歲離世之前，Wild 始終細心打造她那輕盈愉悅的抽象世界，在建構與解構之間游移。Wild 與女兒 Vivian Suter 共同於 Kunsthalle Basel、documenta 14 及多倫多的 The Power Plant 展出作品。
