Mayo Bucher Orden de los libros

Swiss artist Mayo Bucher's significant abstract, geometrically inflected yet painterly art is able to function on a refreshing variety of levels. Illustrated for the first time in all of its depth and breadth, Bucher's work leads into a complex and simultaneously smooth world of structures, colors, forms, and signs. Central to its make-up is the productive relationship between painting and design, architecture and music--thus it is hardly surprising that Bucher's resonant imagery has appeared repeatedly on the covers of ECM records, one of the most distinguished independent music labels in the world. Open Sign speaks clearly and deeply of the compulsion to both construct and question meaning, of human consciousness's endless quest for clarity of expression and understanding, and of our contradictory need for mystery. Essays by Ruedi Baur and Michael Tucker.
