Sasa Hanten-Schmidt: Angela Glajcar: Catalogue raisonné, Leinen

Klappentext

Artist Angela Glajcar works with fragile materials-torn strips of paper, delicate glass fabrics,
and plastic-which she layers and curves to create sculptural forms that, with the help of incident
light, develop into bodies that seem to glow from within. The sculptor made a name for herself
on the basis of her tiered paper sculptures: "terforations". The term comes from a combination
of foramen (hole) and terra incognita (unknown or unexplored territory). The catalogue raisonné,
which includes more than 1, 600 objects, reliefs, and spatial installations, gives a comprehensive
account of the trajectories involved in the development of artistic works that are often temporary
and site specific.

Angela Glajcar, b. 1970 in Mainz, studied at the Academy of Fine Arts (AdBK) Nuremberg. Her works
have featured in exhibitions around world at venues that include Landesgalerie Niederösterreich,
Jeonbuk Art Museum (South Korea), Kunstmuseum Bochum, National Museum of Women in the
Arts, Washington, DC, MOCA Jacksonville. She won the Paper Art Award in 2021. Sasa Hanten-
Schmidt is the editor of the catalogue raisonné. As a court expert on art and head of Angela
Glajcar's studio, she has had a close connection with the artist's work for more than a decade
