Heroic peaks and gloomy valleys are united in artist Stephan Huber's stirring mountain sculptures.

Beauty, terror, majesty, awe: mountain worlds have fascinated humankind since the beginning of time. Artist Stephan Huber ascends the snow-covered peaks en miniature. In his sculptures, he imitates the relief of the mountains and creates theatrical-looking, object-like works. Huber's Mountains can be found everywhere: in museums like the Hamburger Kunsthalle, the Bonner Kunstmuseum, and the Messner Mountain Museum, and also as large-scale installations in public space. His monumental contribution to the Venice Biennale in 1999 received international acclaim. Stephan Huber: Gran Paradiso is a comprehensive volume that reflects in powerful images the Alpine cosmos, which Huber has been investigating for more than four decades. In addition to the famous snow-white sculptures of mountain peaks, the publication also assembles early book objects, fictional expeditions, multiples, and exhibition views. It also features a conversation between the artist and the world-famous mountaineer Reinhold Messner about art and mountain climbing.
