Jakob Bill Eine Retrospektive

The paintings of Jakob Bill (b. 1942) are often made up of two different systems: one is the formal matrix and the other consists of colors that are isolated from the complex spectrum and transformed along the basic fabric of the picture. This process is rendered tangible both sensually and intellectually in this publication, which accompanies two extensive solo exhibitions marking the artist's 70th birthday: at the museum Haus Konstruktiv in Zurich and at the Museum im Kulturspeicher in Würzburg. The son of the Swiss architect, designer and artist Max Bill is a painter through and through. He deliberately eschews the use of three dimensions and concentrates wholly on the medium of painting. The book pays tribute to a complex body of work that has developed along a consistent path from the late 1950s to today.
