Representative view: this book devotes itself to artistic works which are called in the widest sense sculpture. The focus is directed on light, sound sculptures and videosculptures, Assemblagen, bright installations and kinetic works since 1980. The volume(tape) contains large-size images(illustrations) and texts which describe the reception history of the works or were written by the artists themselves. The works come among other things from Brigitte Kowanz, Bernhard Leitner, Vadim Kosmatschof, Adolf Frohner, Marianne Maderna, Franz West, Gelitin and Josef Trattner. Reception history of the works describe or by the artists were written. The works come among other things from Brigitte Kowanz, Bernhard Leitner, Vadim Kosmatschof, Adolf Frohner, Marianne Maderna, Franz West, Gelitin and Josef Trattner. The works of Franz West show exemplarily and comprehensibly the development of the "extended" sculpture. Essays of Elisabeth von Samsonow, Patricia Grzonka and Alexandra Schantl analyze the current sculpture notion before an extensive cultural-historical background. Biographies of about 50 represented artists supplement the work
