Helfried Hagenberg: Book Sculptures

Helfried Hagenberg (born 1940) was one of the first artists to explore the book's sculptural volume, as though it were marble—or wood. The sculptor cuts, hones, folds, deconstructs and shapes the “wood of the book” with a mathematical precision, creating “psaligraphic sculptures.” This extensive publication shows a different side of the book—not least through an integrated psaligraphic sculpture!
