{"product_id":"african-art-from-the-mack-collection","title":"African Art from the Mack Collection","description":"Like many great artists, Heinz Mack also found  inspiration in African art. His artistic expeditions  into the African desert and his encounters with  the special light, the people and the architecture  have continued to influence his art to this day.  His collection of African art is being published for  the first time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Since 1955 Heinz Mack has undertaken artistic  expeditions into the deserts of Africa. It was here  that he created his Sahara Project, with which he  became a pioneer of Land Art. During his travels he purchased works by African artists which  moved him, aroused his curiosity about foreign objects and which were then absorbed naturally  into his life and work. The ornamental, sculptural  and woven works by unknown African artists inspired Mack, and their power has been  integrated into his own works on a subconscious level. The collection includes sculptures and objects made of wood, clay or metal - materials which are also characteristic for the reception of Mack's art.","brand":"Hirmer Verlag GmbH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42665318318116,"sku":"9783777429366","price":120.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9783777429366.jpg?v=1773252603","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/african-art-from-the-mack-collection","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
