VALENTIN CARRON – HAUS UND KROPF
2023-08-21Although there were attempts in the 20th century to increasingly incorporate the immaterial into art, as the examples of Marcel Duchamp or Mark Rothko show, the binding of art to its materials remains a fundamental prerequisite. This applies all the more to sculpture, for it is always a setting in that reality which man and society can produce, change, or destroy. Until a few decades ago, three categories were considered the standard for the attitude of a sculptor: to the first belonged the aspect of modeling (with the classical materials of stone, wood and bronze), to the second the use of industrially produced materials and to the last, finally, the inclusion of found materials of any kind. In a further step, some artists have appropriated works by colleagues in the sense of Appropriaton Art and placed them into new contexts.
