What is a picture? How does a picture relate to the wall, to space, to architecture? The German artist Gerold Miller has devoted himself for about fifteen years to the question of „pictorial quality“ in the border territory of sculpture and painting. Deriving from Concrete Art and Minimal Art, Millers frame pictures are purely counter-illusionistic and counter-representational. Organized purely spatially, they gain significance in relation to the different spaces around them: the empty space of a museum, the designed space of a hotel lobby, or the furnished space of a home.
The catalog was published to accompagny the exhibition 2002 in the Nationalgalerie im Hamburger Bahnhof, Museum für Gegenwart, Berlin. It includes a number of analyzing texts, thus providing a comprehensive insight into Miller‘s work between 1994 and 2002.
