Off the Shelf No. 8: Andreas Fogarasi – Wall to Wall
Fri, 26/6/2026, 7:00 PM
From Wall to Wall, the first extensive monograph on the Austrian/Hungarian artist Andreas Fogarasi, covers twenty years of his work, with a sequence of large-scale, full-color images, new essays by Damian Lentini and Flóra Gadó, and an interview with the artist by Heike Eipeldauer. The publication was designed by Anna Liska.
In his conceptual practice that merges methods of abstraction and documentarism, Fogarasi engages with the histories of cultural production, with architecture, design and urbanity. The resulting sculptural works explore how social values, power relations and national self-images are inscribed in forms, surfaces and urban spaces.
Andreas Fogarasi (*1977) lives and works in Vienna. Fogarasi’s work was exhibited widely in Europe and beyond, solo exhibitions were held, among others, at Kunsthalle Wien, Vienna, Museo Reina Sofia, Madrid, Ludwig Forum, Aachen, GfZK, Leipzig, and Trafó Gallery, Budapest, as well as at the Hungarian Pavilion at the 52. Biennale di Venezia, where he was awarded the Golden Lion prize.
Damian Lentini is deputy director and chief curator at the Ludwig Forum in Aachen. Flóra Gadó is an independent curator and writer based in Brussels and Budapest. Heike Eipeldauer is a curator at MUMOK, Vienna.
