Conceptual sculptures from books by Brian Dettmer
Conceptual sculptures from books by Brian Dettmer
American artist Brian Dettmer has a funny nickname – “The Ripper of books”, and this is understandable. His sculptures of the books are exhibited in galleries in New York, Chicago, London, and Paris. Brian Dettmer is originally from Chicago, but currently resides in Atlanta, GA. He is engaged in book-carving, using a scalpel, tweezers, scissors, book covers, and all its contents, and the result is modern art. For individuals it is certainly comparable to blasphemy – books cut, though antique, and the recognition Brian got in museums, galleries, where critics say that this is really an art.
