"This book offers the first overview of Mack's philosophy of art as well as his multifaceted oeuvre. A sculptor and painter for more than sixty years, Mack has created a wide-ranging body of work, starting with the ZERO period around 1960 and continuing in the present day. As this book shows, the essential aspects of his works--including the significance of light, structure, and color--are portrayed with often surprising perspectives. The authors accompany Mack in his constant search for a new concept of art, following him from ZERO through his legendary Sahara Project, a series of installations he made in the Tunisian desert from 1962 to 1976, to his light art and most recent paintings. Throughout, they discover little-known connections to minimal art, land art, Yves Klein, and Constantin Brancusi, among others. This journey through Mack's rich oeuvre culminates in a look at his passionate plea for the idea of beauty in the twenty-first century." --Publisher's website.
