Stephan Huber: Gran Paradiso

Petra Giloy-Hirtz

0/5 ( ratings)

Heroic peaks and gloomy valleys are united in artist Stephan Huber’s stirring mountain sculptures.

Beauty, terror, majesty, mountain worlds have fascinated humankind since the beginning of time. Artist Stephan Huber ascends the snow-covered peaks “en miniature.” In his sculptures, he imitates the relief of the mountains and creates theatrical-looking, object-like works. Huber’s “Mountains” can be found in museums like the Hamburger Kunsthalle, the Bonner Kunstmuseum, and the Messner Mountain Museum, and also as large-scale installations in public space. His monumental contribution to the Venice Biennale in 1999 received international acclaim. Stephan Gran Paradiso is a comprehensive volume that reflects in powerful images the Alpine cosmos, which Huber has been investigating for more than four decades. In addition to the famous snow-white sculptures of mountain peaks, the publication also assembles early book objects, fictional expeditions, multiples, and exhibition views. It also features a conversation between the artist and the world-famous mountaineer Reinhold Messner about art and mountain climbing.
