Angela Glajcar: Catalogue raisonné

Artist Angela Glajcar works with fragile materials-torn strips of paper, delicate glass fabrics, and plastic-which she layers and curves to create sculptural forms that, with the help of incident light, develop into bodies that seem to glow from within. The sculptor made a name for herself on the basis of her tiered paper sculptures: "terforations". The term comes from a combination of foramen (hole) and terra incognita (unknown or unexplored territory). The catalogue raisonné, which includes more than 1,600 objects, reliefs, and spatial installations, gives a comprehensive account of the trajectories involved in the development of artistic works that are often temporary and site specific. Angela Glajcar, b. 1970 in Mainz, studied at the Academy of Fine Arts (AdBK) Nuremberg. Her works have featured in exhibitions around world at venues that include Landesgalerie Niederösterreich, Jeonbuk Art Museum (South Korea), Kunstmuseum Bochum, National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington, DC, MOCA Jacksonville. She won the Paper Art Award in 2021. Sasa Hanten- Schmidt is the editor of the catalogue raisonné. As a court expert on art and head of Angela Glajcar's studio, she has had a close connection with the artist's work for more than a decade
