| Summary: | Heinz Mack has always been far ahead of his time: his reflector walls and slat plantations, designed 65 years ago, anticipate current photovoltaic systems. His exploration of air, water, light and sand helps to reflect the acute threat to natural resources. While the artist still saw the desert landscapes as empty, free space for his land art, today the Arctic and Sahara symbolize climate change and the destruction of nature. Multifaceted and with a wide perspective, the publication shows Heinz Mack as an artist of the 21st century. |
