This book brings together a selection of paintings and sculptures by internationally renowned artist Enrique Martínez Celaya from 2005 to the present. Since his installation Schneebett at the Berlin Philharmonie in 2004, his work has changed formally, but it has remained intellectually and emotionally challenging. Born in Cuba and now living in Los Angeles, Martínez Celaya combines art with philosophy, literature, and science. Published to accompany the exhibition at the USC Fisher Museum of Art in Los Angeles, this book conveys Martínez Celaya’s work as an artistic, poetic, and intellectual mapping of an existential landscape that the artist traverses.

ENRIQUE MARTINEZ CELAYA (*1964) worked as a physicist before turning to art. Today, his works are exhibited worldwide, including at the Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C., the Hermitage in St. Petersburg, and the Museum der bildenden Künste in Leipzig.
