Beschreibung
Pioneer of the Feminist Avant-Garde
Experimental Diversity and Japanese Influence
Prominent Professor at the Vienna Academy
This comprehensive monograph on the Austrian artist Birgit Jürgenssen offers a fresh and extensive insight into her nearly 40-year career. As early as the age of eight, she combined her name with that of the Spanish master in a schoolbook to form ‘BICASSO Jürgenssen’. Her early work is characterised by remarkable ‘shoe art’ and feminist-subversive, ironic drawings. Since Jürgenssen was never concerned with a recognizable style, the monograph reveals her artistic diversity and her spirit of experimentation. The essays illustrate Jürgenssen's intellectual horizon, which spans from Surrealism through Freudian psychoanalysis to Structuralism. Furthermore, Jürgenssen's longstanding interest in Japanese aesthetics and culture, as well as their influence on her artistic work, is presented here for the first time.
