Michael Armitage
Pathos and the Twilight of the Idle 

In a modestly designed publication of exceptional format, the paintings and drawings—inspired by the presentation of the works in the scaled-back architecture of the Kunsthaus Bregenz—are shown to advantage on a large scale and displaying their full radiance. Supplementing the illustrated works is an extensive conversation between Michael Armitage and Thomas D. Trummer. It not only traces the exhibition’s dramaturgy but is the first interview in which the artist provides deep personal insight into the process of creating his works.
