HR GIGER KARTONIERT (TB)

HR Giger (1940-2014) remains one of the outstanding figures in Swiss art and design history. He
achieved international fame in 1979 for designing the fantastic creatures and eerie
environments that terrified moviegoers in Ridley Scott's science fiction film Alien. Yet 
before these iconic creations made him a celebrity and won him an Academy Award for visual
effects  Giger was already highly regarded in the international art world of the 1960s and
1970s  for taking one of the most independent positions in the succession of Surrealism.  
First published in 2007  this only book to date on HR Giger's early work features a
comprehensive collection of his drawings  early airbrush paintings  and designs for oppressive
environments. It examines Giger's art from its origins and places it in an art history of
horror. Most of the works shown in this volume are only rarely on public display. Here they are
presented in dialogue with works by distinguished precursors such as Giovanni Battista Piranesi
Francisco de Goya  Henry Fuseli  Max Klinger  and James Ensor.
