Summary

Tomma Abts is one of the most outstanding painters of her generation. Her paintings are created in a slow and strict process in which she applies purely geometric forms, layer upon layer, with oil and acrylic paints, always using the same portrait format of 48 x 38 cm. Isolated recognisable edges and translucent layers make Abts' works a reflection on the painting process itself. The catalogue brings together her older as well as her most recent works. Drawings that have been created parallel to her canvases over the past years and are thus far not well known will be published here for the first time. The publication is a visual continuation of her work, designed by the artist herself, and contains installation views as well as numerous large-format illustrations.
