{"product_id":"a-retrospective","title":"Stano Filko: A Retrospective","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn influential figure in the Slovakian avant-garde, Stano Filko (1937–2015) synthesized Pop art, Fluxus and Conceptual art into a universalist vision of art and life influenced by subjects such as modernist architecture, mathematical algorithms and the cosmos. He designed hybrid objects and environments, assemblages, text-based works and performances that attempted to circumvent state repression. Among his acclaimed bodies of work are the Altar assemblages of the mid-1960s and the Bomb series. Having fled to West Germany in 1981, Filko exhibited at Documenta 7 in Kassel in 1982, and then relocated to New York, where he took up neo-expressionist painting, embracing a rainbow-colored chakra system that he explored for the rest of his life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis first English-language publication on Filko approaches his multilayered oeuvre from various perspectives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTexts by Sandro Droschl, Lucia Gregorová Stach, Patrizia Grzonka, Christian Höller, Mira Keratová, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Boris Ondreicka, Jan Verwoert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[publisher's note]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hatje Cantz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57357906510164,"sku":"A8B-32254","price":44.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1072\/9609\/6596\/files\/stafil.jpg?v=1790813408","url":"https:\/\/after8books.com\/products\/a-retrospective","provider":"After 8 Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
