ISBN 978-3-89790-416-3
The German-Swedish artist Ann Wolff (born 1937) is one of the most important and exciting representatives of the European studio glass movement. She understands how to masterfully bring out the special features of glass as a material and the full range of its diverse expressive possibilities: In her works, contour and surface, translucency and opacity, the relationship between inside and outside take on new meaning. The publication presents a selection of glass sculptures from recent years. It is expanded by selected drawings and pastels, which represent an independent work complex in Ann Wolff’s oeuvre as a whole. Common to them is the titular motif of the “persona”, the character mask, which expresses the artist’s continuous engagement with philosophical and existential questions. In doubling and mirroring, in concealing and revealing, they revolve around fundamental questions about the self and the other and their mutual perception.
