In 1959, Metzger penned a manifesto of Auto-destructive art, which states in part, \"Auto-destructive paintings, sculptures and constructions have a lifetime varying from a few moments to 20 years. When the disintegrative process is complete, the work is to be removed from the site and scrapped.\" In this volume, Metzger talks to Obrist about his past and present association with Auto-destructive art, how he has come to fuse his art practice with his political commitment to human rights and ecology, how he escaped the Holocaust at the age of 13 and the many projects he has yet to realize.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hans Ulrich Obrist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3865604986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783865604989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Walther Konig Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.30w x 0.60d","brand":"Hans Ulrich Obrist","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44080764616959,"sku":"9783865604989","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_900964f3-9a67-4faf-bb58-864e9463b365.jpg?v=1685488682","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hans-ulrich-obrist-gustav-hans-ulrich-obrist-9783865604989","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
