Description - Leon Löwentraut: Gold Edition by Albrecht Behmel
Leon Löwentraut is celebrated in the art scene as an exceptional talent. He has been conquering the art world since his earliest youth. With dynamic forms and expressive colours, the 24-year-old Löwentraut creates works of art that sell out within days at international exhibitions. The first comprehensive monograph on his life's work to date features 320 pages of his works with approximately 220 colour photographs. The impressively large format of 29 cm wide and 37 cm high creates the space to explore the many details in Löwentraut's paintings. The Gold Edition appears, in a strictly limited edition of 100, as an impressive collector's item - each book is unique. Each volume contains one of a total of six high-quality, numbered and signed Löwentraut colour lithographs, manually enhanced by the artist. The fine art prints are housed in a velvet-covered portfolio with gold embossing. Colourful and vibrant, a velvet cover in magenta on the outside, the preprint pages on the inside glow orange, with a blue colour cut and thus 100 percent Löwentraut. That's the first impression you get when you unpack the high-quality box in which the Gold Edition is delivered. The great energy of Löwentraut's art has been captured in the production and content of the monograph. But the illustrated book can do much more: it offers the reader a deep insight into Löwentraut's work and also addresses the question of what drives the young artist and who influenced him. How does it feel to be an artist in our digital age, and what place does classically created art have in a global world dominated by the Internet and social media? The illustrated book itself already has one possible approach to bringing this discrepancy together. Using the teNeues app and your smartphone camera, you can access exclusive video footage of Leon's work on 12 appropriately marked pages. Those who scan the pages are presented with sequences in the studio, conversations about art and the art world, selected exhibition moments, and impressions from the production of the book. Text in English and German.
