Wilhelm Sasnal

Discover a major monograph on one of Europe's preeminent contemporary artists. Wilhelm Sasnal draws on found images from his surroundings to create works of art that act as an archive to the mass of sprawling images that flood contemporary life. His work addresses weighty historical themes such as the Holocaust, or familiar pop-cultural icons at a time of sociopolitical transformation. With a concise approach to his subject matter, Sasnal captures stolen moments in time, imbuing the canvases with a filmic quality. Completed by a series of essays addressing significant themes in the artist's work, this volume is a comprehensive assessment of his practice.
