Wolfgang Laib by Margit Rowell (Text by); Klaus Ottmann (Text by) Wolfgang Laib’s breathtaking and quietly beautiful artwork draws on the ritual life he leads in and with nature and its processes of becoming and forgetting. His works are composed of purely natural materials, collected and processed by the artist himself in the 70s, he created his first milk stone, and then moved on to sifting pollen into “color miracles” or piling it into “insurmountable mountains”; in the 80s, he began to incorporate rice into his pieces; and towards the end of the decade he began working in beeswax. This retrospective of his work offers us a key to fully appreciating his complex and transcendent body of work.

Wolfgang Laib by Ulrich Krempel (Editor) Wolfgang Laib's breathtaking and quietly beautiful artwork draws on the ritual life he leads in and with nature and its processes of becoming and forgetting. Laib's installations in Belvedere Castle, painstakingly documented in this book, afford access to one of the most privileged and poetical spaces of classic Weimar. Laib transports the space into the present, lending it both a sculptural and an imagistic dimension--the highlights include four wax ships, laid out on a simple support on the ground floor, that look as though they have been put aside for some later voyage whose destination is as yet uncertain. These magnificent works of art constitute some of the finest examples of Laib's ability to evoke the personal and human as well as the transcendental and the sublime.

Wolfgang Laib: The Room of Certitudes by Guy Tosatto (Contribution by); Necmi Sonmez (As told to) Opposite the Pic du Canigou, the holy mountain of the Catalonians and the last high peak before the Pyrenees descend into the Mediterranean, Wolfgang Laib has created a timeless, sublime space that seems to have grown naturally from the earth. Accessible only by footpath, "The Room of Certitudes" is a rock chamber chiseled out of granite, its walls lined with beeswax, its only opening a simple wooden door. Though the cave itself can only be reached after a long hike, it is here transmitted through the artist's own photographs, in a book of his own design.
