G�nther F�rg (1952-2013) was a German painter, sculptor, and photographer with an irreverent approach to abstraction. F�rg's project tackled the latent instability between image and reality. His painterly surfaces may appear exquisitely sensitive, his installations elegantly precise, but these are mastered and executed with a cold detachment. His deft manipulations of the languages of abstraction obscured a darker message. This publication, the most comprehensive to date, offers an important new understanding of this extraordinary and complex artist. Three years in the making, it reinterprets F�rg's oeuvre to reveal an artistic project that raises important questions about the traditional role of an object as a conveyor of fixed meaning. The book's subtitle-"A Fragile Beauty"-is an indication of how F�rg successfully manipulated what is behind and beyond an object's appearance.
