Ingo Maurer | Ingo Maurer intim. Design or What?
Published on the occassion of Ingo Maurer's retrospective exhibition, Ingo Maurer intim at the Pinakothek Der Moderne, Munich (Nov 2019 - October 2020):
The title of the catalogue "Ingo Maurer intim" (Ingo Maurer close-up) alludes to how Ingo Maurer saw his work. In close and trusting collaboration with his team, Maurer developed each step from the initial sketch to the final product to the sales process. "Design or what?" alludes to the exciting interaction of design, art, and architecture. Because with Maurer's objects the question often arises of how, if at all, they can be pigeonholed in terms of style.
Ingo Maurer (1932 Island of Reichenau, Lake Constance – 2019 Munich) devoted himself almost exclusively to light since 1966, and with his “Bulb” luminaire produced his first, famous statement in the form of an iconic light bulb. Since that time, he and his team in his Munich workshop have been developing complex, ingenious, and elaborate light objects and lighting concepts for both private and public spaces as well as spectacular one-offs.
