This bilingual French-English monograph examines the work of Austrian artist Gunter Brus, a key figure in the Viennese Actionism movement. Published in 1993 by the Centre Georges Pompidou, the book accompanies an exhibition of Brus's provocative performance art, paintings, and mixed-media works that challenged post-war Austrian society through radical bodily expression and political critique. The volume features comprehensive documentation of Brus's artistic career, including his controversial actions of the 1960s and subsequent evolution as a painter and graphic artist. Through essays and visual materials, the monograph situates Brus within the broader context of contemporary European avant-garde movements, exploring his influence on performance art and his ongoing dialogue with themes of identity, violence, and social transformation.
