{"product_id":"17258-margret-eicher","title":"Margret Eicher","description":"The conceptual artist Margret Eicher (born 1955 in Viersen, Lower Rhine) became known for her large-format tapestries, in which she combines the baroque form of the tapestry with the visual language of today's information media. She processes the found, photographic \"event image\" in a way that questions its supposed claim to objectivity and truthfulness. Through artistic appropriation, the act of appropriation, she gives the trivial, everyday motifs from the mass media a fairytale strangeness. Following the title Once Upon a Time (in massmedia), the publication presents significant works by the artist in photographs taken outdoors against the historical backdrop of Schwetzingen Palace Park, and counteracts the sensual-poetic images with analytical texts about consumption, reception, or the power structure of media imagery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMargret Eicher (born 1955 in Viersen) is a German conceptual artist who has made a name for herself with her large-format tapestries. Her works combine the aesthetics of baroque tapestries with the iconography of modern mass media, questioning the objectivity of media images. Through appropriation and artistic reinterpretation, she gives trivial motifs a new, poetically alienated meaning. Eicher's works are represented in renowned museums and collections and have been exhibited internationally.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Book (978-3-7757-3498-1)","offer_id":51047688274184,"sku":"9783775734981","price":40.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Ebook - PDF (978-3-7757-6109-3)","offer_id":51047688306952,"sku":"9783775761093","price":30.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775734981_b3b604c8-fbd4-4791-8bd0-30d6058f4b07.jpg?v=1744114411","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/17258-margret-eicher","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
