About the Work

Wolfgang Laib’s quiet, meditative work makes him one of the most fascinating artists of our time. His works, the "Towers of Silence" made of beeswax, were first exhibited in the Tomb of the Holy Sepulchre in the Rucellai Chapel, San Pancrazio, Florence, Italy in 2019. Archetypes of temples, tombs and human habitats underlie the form of the works executed in sensual beeswax. The sublime as a transcendent state of exception in the face of an increasingly complex world can be experienced in all of Laib’s works.

The work was exhibited in the following exhibitions:

"Wolfgang Laib — The Beginning of Something Else", Kunstmuseum Stuttgart, Germany, 2023

"Wolfgang Laib — Without Time, Without Place, Without Body", Tomb of the Holy Sepulchre, Rucellai Chapel, San Pancrazio, Florence, Italy, 2019
