Wieland Schmiedel: Give Signs (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9783775762915)

From the sandstone torsos of Schwerin's "Green Valley" to memorials for the victims of the death marches, Schmiedel's sculptures are public testaments to human tragedy

Sculptor Wieland Schmiedel (1942-2021) left behind a powerful body of work inspired by and dedicated to German memorial culture after World War II. Give Signs is a comprehensive reassessment of his work through the lenses of ideology, victimization and commemoration.
