Author Description

In the 1980s Arne Quinze started his artistic career as a graffiti artist, but he soon evolved from "street art" to "public art". This internationally acclaimed artist has become synonymous with monumental installations - often in a bright colour, and in wood - that can be found all over the world: from Germany and France to the US, China and Brazil. But his oeuvre also includes paintings, smaller sculptures and light installations. Arne Quinze brings the full story with more than 500 images and an extensive interview. With a foreword by Xavier Roland, the director of the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Mons (BAM), which will present the artist's first major retrospective exhibition in May and an interview with Quinze by Clare Lilley, one of the leading ladies in the contemporary art world.
