Lovely

Bought this due to a little deep dive on Rudolf Shwarzkogler and his art. Originally looking for his work “Leben Und Werk”, I stumbled upon this collection and it immediately peaked my curiosity. There’s an abundance of detail into all the actionists’ works. it is more than what I was expecting. This is definitely a book I will constantly flip through for art reference and inspiration.
