Elena Lux-Marx in the Arithmeum

Ina Prinz (ed.). Bouvier Verlag. Bonn 2000. 39 pages, 17 color prints.

This catalog accompanying the exhibition of the same name at the Arithmeum focuses on the subtle, richly nuanced works of Swiss artist Elena Lux Marx. She continues the tradition of the great Swiss Concretists - Lohse and Bill - in a feminine way. Her precise compositions only reveal finely graduated differences in color after prolonged observation, giving the viewer a deep insight into the “interaction of colors” inspired by Joseph Albers. Detailed illustrations and explanatory texts illustrate how Elena Lux Marx's works open up a new, intense color experience and expand the cool framework of constructive art through a subtle play of harmony and nuance.
