He recounts the key moments in his life and career: his Jewish Orthodox childhood in Nuremberg before the Nazis came to power, his arrival in England as part of the \u003ci\u003eKindertransport\u003c\/i\u003e, his early development as an artist, and how he came to develop the idea of Auto-Destructive Art and later to coorganize the Destruction in Art Symposium in 1966 and the Art Strike of 1977-80. He also talks about his activism to combat environmental destruction as well as his deep admiration for Vermeer. Published to coincide with the PST ART exhibition, this singular volume is a monument to the rediscovery of Metzger in the 21st century, thanks to the urgency of his artistic position and to the enthusiasm and commitment of Metzger's interlocutor in this book, Hans Ulrich Obrist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 9.5 x 6.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 19, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176842641657,"sku":"9783906915920","price":54.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/TiyM95Jvoh9783906915920_a682454a-32ea-414b-adce-cf6041e5ca36.webp?v=1767690815","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/gustav-metzger-interviews-with-hans-ulrich-obrist-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
