First comprehensive monograph of the artist. With an interview by Ines Goldbach with Sabine Hertig and contributions by Christian Herren, Michael Renner, Hansmartin Siegrist, Barbara van der Meulen and Isabel Zürcher.
Sabine Hertig is known for her analogue and idiosyncratic monumental collages. Equipped with scissors and glue, the Swiss artist brings together a powerful polyphony in her works. An original and distinctive body of work has thus emerged within ten years, one which demonstrates a new approach to the medium of collage: for Sabine Hertig collage is a means thinking clearly about a world which has itself become an assemblage of information. Texts by expert authors and an interview with Sabine Hertig complement an extensive image selection, enabling fascinating insights into the oeuvre of an exceptional artist.
