HR Giger, Art Edition B "Relief"

Begun shortly before the artist’s unexpected death, this SUMO-sized Art Edition pays homage to Giger’s unique vision. It shows the complete story of Giger’s life and art, his sculptures, film works, and iconic album covers as well as the heritage left in his own artist’s museum and self-designed bar in the Swiss Alps. In an in-depth essay, Giger scholar Andreas J. Hirsch plunges into the themes of Giger’s oeuvre and world, while an extensive artist biography draws on contemporary quotes and Giger’s own writings.

Enter a world of haunting power and dark psychedelia. From atom bomb anxiety to Ridley Scott’s Alien, this SUMO-sized Art Edition pays tribute to the biomechanics vision of HR Giger in painting, sculpture, film work, iconic album covers, and his unique artist’s museum. The volume comes with the ready-to-hang relief Untitled (1964).
