Art Hatje Cantz Verlag | Michael Buthe Und Ingvild Goetz

Michael Buthe (1944–1994) Was Already A Legend In His Lifetime. The Orient, Its People And Spirituality Had A Formative Influence On Buthe’S Work And Life. Cologne And Marrakesh Were The Two Poles Between Which The Artist Moved. Ingvild Goetz Got To Know Buthe In Cologne In The Nineteen-Seventies, Became Friends With Him, And Followed His Work Until His Early Death. After Minimalist-Conceptual Beginnings In The Late Nineteen-Sixties, He Radically Changed His Way Of Working In The Nineteen-Seventies And Created Large-Format Works Of Intensive And Entrancing Colorfulness. Not Only Does This Publication Now Trace The Development Of His Work For The First Time; Numerous Photographs From Private Albums, As Well As Vivid Stories By His Collector-Friend Ingvild Goetz, And Other Companions, Reveal Hitherto Unknown Sides Of This Exceptional Artist.
