Inge Dick

The artist Inge Dick (b. 1941) is one of the famous representatives of contemporary Austrian art. For the past 50 years she has focused on the colour spectrum of natural light. She creates conceptual series of painting, Polaroid photography and digital film to illustrate the endless range of colours of the phenomenon of light through the changing daylight hours and the seasons.

How does our perception of the colour of light change according to the position of the sun? Which colours appear on a white surface in spring, and which in autumn? What does the eye perceive, and what does an optical lens register? In her conceptual works series Inge Dick creates delicate light paintings - regardless of whether she uses a palette knife, a Polaroid camera or digital film. This comprehensive publication pays impressive tribute for the first time to the bandwidth of her creative work stretching back over more than half a century.
