Title: Valentin Hauri. No place but the one,
Description: GE, Hatje Cantz, 2012 Hardback, 200x232mm, 208p, 152 colour illustrations, English/ German edition. ISBN 9783775737159. ¶ Since 1994 Valentin Hauri (*1954 in Baden) has been creating his paintings "alla prima," meaning, in a work process without corrections or overpainting. Whatever does not satisfy the artist's eye after it has been completed is thrown out. He is often inspired by Art Brut or Outsider Art, whose authenticity fascinates Hauri. Not least because of these role models the meaning of the symbols in his paintings can be heftily debated.
