Neuware - Karl Geiser, einer der bedeutendsten Schweizer Bildhauer des 20. Jahrhunderts, hat neben Skulpturen und Zeichnungen auch Tausende von Fotografien hinterlassen. Sie zeigen einen intensiven und liebevollen Blick auf Menschen, die ihn faszinierten - im Atelier und auf der Strasse. Dabei bediente sich Geiser einer Bildsprache, die heute erstaunlich modern anmutet. In grosser Freiheit und ohne Rücksicht auf fotografische Konventionen schuf er mit der Kamera eine sehr persönliche Chronik seiner Gefühle. Geisers Skulpturen sind heute ein wenig in Vergessenheit geraten. Seine Fotografien zeugen in unverminderter Frische von einer künstlerischen Vision, die uns noch immer tief berührt. 50 Jahre nach Geisers Tod würdigt dieses Buch sein fotografisches Schaffen.

“Through the skilled hands and adroit instructions of Swiss cutter Schläpfer-Geiser, it all appears quite simple to do. She patiently explains even the minutest of details of fine scissoring, from simple folds to pasting cuts on eggs, but in few words and with many...drawings.”—Booklist. “This little book will give you hours of pleasure.”—Art Times.

Paradoxically, Swiss art historian and architecture critic Sigfried Giedion (1888–1968) would only consolidate his reputation as one of the most influential architectural historians of the twentieth century far from his homeland, in America. In his study of Giedion’s life and work Reto Geiser foregrounds the formative character of Giedion’s extended stays in the United States and their role as an inspiring laboratory to propel his scholarship. By challenging the presentation of a continuous line of developments, and revealing the ruptures and contradictions within Giedion’s work, Geiser questions a heroic account of modern architecture, turning instead to the less ideological and frequently overlooked facets of Giedion’s oeuvre. The book argues that, although Giedion’s position in between two cultural spheres created discontinuities in his work, it also facilitated a mutual exchange between the architectural impresario and his North American peers and thereby helped to shape the development and reception of the modern project on either side of the Atlantic.
