This book features Andreas Schiller's most recent work and gives an overview of his renowned series paintings. A prominent member of both the New Leipzig and Tacheles schools, Andreas Schiller is celebrated for ambitious work that explores symbolism and mass production in the computer age. His most recent book, Global Backup II , distills the essence of the two series that brought him wide acclaim: Big Apple, a collection of thousands of paintings of a single apple, and Curiosities of the West, which consists of iconic images presented in a repetitive pattern that renders them both absurd and banal. sakriti opis
