Exploring the wide spectrum of artwork created by Gilbert Bretterbauer, this book analyzes the carpets, furniture, lamps, and other objects through which he unites the central aspects of his art: space, color, and abstraction. A carpet crafted by Bretterbauer is not to simply be understood as a decoration; through its intense coloring and sensual material it gains a three-dimensional presence. Bretterbauer's creations do not only prove to be successful in their spatial function but also claim objectivity. They are not only a matter of aesthetic contemplation but provide a tactile experience of the object.
