Meditations on nature

With cry me a river, Ugo Rondinone returns to his roots. This monograph, published in conjunction with his retrospective at Kunstmuseum Luzern, brings together works inspired by natural forces, weather phenomena and the sublimity of the mountains. Ugo Rondinone’s work has been shaped by the overwhelming beauty of the landscape in which he grew up in. The artist draws on his origins with love and humor: a thunderstorm, snow flurries or a school of fish inspire his sculptural creations. His installations are instantly recognizable, with a quality that derives from their simplicity.
