Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Thilo Westermann, renowned for his reverse glass paintings, distinctive prints, and photomontages, presents his latest book, 'Thilo Westermann Migrations'. This volume delves into the artist's intricate work and diverse research interests, spanning botany, porcelain, Asian art, global histories, and intercultural exchange dynamics. During residencies in China, the UK, and the USA, Westermann collaborated with esteemed scholars, inviting them to share their expertise in Chinese porcelain, peony flower cultural history, botanical illustration, artistic appropriation, chinoiseries, and europeries. The book's contributions stem from these discussions or Westermann's engagement with the experts' writings. Carefully curated and designed by the artist, this lavishly illustrated anthology illustrates the migration of forms and ideas. Motifs and thoughts transition from page to page, taking shape from one contribution to another, mirroring the transformation of forms and ideas through cross-cultural exchange. Thus, the book not only reflects Westermann's research but also honors the continuous movement of ideas and forms across media, borders, and time.
