LOTHAR BAUMGARTEN
2021-11-08The artist himself conceived this project before his untimely passing, with a selection of works that span his entire career. It covers all his various periods, illustrating the continuity of his ideas with regard to the visual and conceptual issues that interested him throughout his life. The notions and intuitions of the initial period of his artistic career came about and acquired concrete form as they mixed in with his personal experiences, and with his desire to enter into a world far removed from us in both time and space. This became reality in the second half of the 1970s, when he lived with the Yanomami people in the remotest part of the high Orinoco, on the border between Brazil and Venezuela.
