by mer, Achim (EDT)/ Max Ernst Museum (COR)
From the publisher
The Catalan artist Jaume Plensa is considered one of the most important contemporary sculptors in the world. His spectacular and yet meditative sculptures can be seen in public spaces around the globe. At the 2015 Venice Biennale, Jaume Plensa received the Global Fine Art Award for "Best Public Installation" in honor of his contribution at the Basilica di San Giorgio Maggiore. Until the 1990s, the artist was primarily known for his cast iron sculptures. He then started using polyester resin and glass, as well as steel, marble, alabaster, basalt, bronze, and--more recently--wood. However, nontangible "materials" such as light, words, and sound also play an important role in his work.

About the author
The Max Ernst museum of Bruhl of the LVR is the first museum dedicated to the work of the artist Max Ernst (1891-1976). It shows an overview about the extensive creating of the dadaist and surrealist whose pictures distinguish themselves by amazing ingenuity and brilliant inspiration strength. Max Ernst created not only a huge number of paintings, collages, graphics, plastics and assemblages; his uncontrollable creativity was also reflected in numerous books, artist's briefcases and poems. Dr. Achim Sommer was born in 1956 in Kassel. Since May 2006 he has been the director of the Max Ernst museum of Bruhl and the manager of the Max Ernst foundation. He studied art history, french studies and classical archeology in Gottingen and Bonn. He doctorated in 1991. Afterwards he completed scientific practical training in the art museum of Bonn and scientific care of the collection of Hans Grothe. In 1995 he was on the scientific staff of the arts centre of Emden, in 1996-2006 the scientific leader.
