Almost Nothing. 100 Artists Comment on the Work of Mies van der Rohe

«Almost Nothing» vereint 100 internationale Malerinnen, Bildhauer, Fotografinnen, Filmemacher, Designerinnen, Karikaturisten und Architektinnen, die in ihren hier gezeigten Werken Bauten, Entwürfe, Aussagen und Bilder des berühmten Architekten kommentieren oder sich zu eigen machen und so Leben und Œuvre des legendären deutsch-amerikanischen Architekten neu interpretieren. Der Text des in New York lebenden Architekten Christian Bjone bietet Hintergrundinformationen über die Autoren der 100 Kunstwerke. Der Buchtitel ist eine Referenz auf eine Aussage von Mies selbst zu einem seiner Meisterwerke, der Crown Hall auf dem IIT-Campus in Chicago, in der Schlichtheit in genialer Weise mit Komplexität verschmolzen ist.
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886–1969) was one of the most significant and influential architects in history. His designs and buildings—to say nothing of his thought and writing—continue to this day to spark heated debates on achievement and failure in modern architecture. And he’s the rare architect whose influence and reputation spread beyond the field—which this book demonstrates powerfully.
Almost Nothing collects work by one hundred painters, sculptors, photographers, film directors, designers, cartoonists, and architects that comment on or appropriate buildings, designs, and statements by or images of the legendary architect. New York–based architect and writer Christian Bjone amplifies the selections with a commentary offering rich background information on the individual artists and the depicted art works, and the result is a striking celebration of Mies van der Rohe’s lasting influence.
