NEW | HR Giger The oeuvre before Alien

ENGLISH EDITION

HR Giger (1940–2014) remains one of the outstanding figures in Swiss art and design history. He achieved international fame in 1979 for designing the fantastic creatures and eerie environments that terrified moviegoers in Ridley Scott’s science fiction film Alien. Yet, before these iconic creations made him a celebrity and won him an Academy Award for visual effects, Giger was already highly regarded in the international art world of the 1960s and 1970s, for taking one of the most independent positions in the succession of Surrealism.

First published in 2007, this only book to date on HR Giger’s early work features a comprehensive collection of his drawings, early airbrush paintings, and designs for oppressive environments. It examines Giger’s art from its origins and places it in an art history of horror. Most of the works shown in this volume are only rarely on public display. Here they are presented in dialogue with works by distinguished precursors such as Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Francisco de Goya, Henry Fuseli, Max Klinger, and James Ensor.

Giger HR. Das Schaffen vor Alien 1961-1976

Scheidegger & Spiess, 2007. ed. by Beat Stutzer
Weight - 1.1 kg
Language - German
168 pages
Size - 20.32 x 2.29 x 26.67 cm

Swiss artist HR Giger (1940-2014) has been world famous ever since he created the monster and special space atmosphere for Ridley Scott's science fiction classic Alien, for which he won an Oscar in 1980. Less well known is that Giger, who studied architecture and industrial design in Zurich, was previously a shooting star of the European art scene, exhibited internationally, and was collected by art market giants such as Warhol gallerist Bruno Bischofberger. With his fantastic realism, he took one of the most independent positions in the art scene of the 1960s and 1970s in the succession of Surrealism.
This book presents for the first time HR Giger's early drawings, first works in spray gun technique, and oppressive environments; many of them have never been seen in public. Set in relation to works by precursors such as Piranesi, Goya, Klinger, Ensor, and Füssli, this book opens new perspectives on this provocative body of work. This book was published to accompany the exhibition at the Bündner Kunstmuseum Chur from June 30 to September 9, 2007

Giger Sorayama - White Version

Giger Sorayama - White Version

Softcover with dust jacket in white color
108 pages
26.5 x 36.5 cm
Language: English, Japanese
Comes with a poster and two stickers
Designed by Kasper-Florio
Published by Kaleidoscope
With texts by Alessio Ascari, Venus Lau, Hans Ulrich Obrist

The catalogue, designed by Swiss-based art direction firm Kasper-Florio with Samuel Bänziger, features a foreword by co-curator Alessio Ascari, a critical essay by Venus Lau, an interview with the late HR Giger by Hans Ulrich Obrist and Patrick Frey, and an interview with Sorayama by Ascari. It comes with a 50x70cm two-sided poster, and two 20cm die-cut stickers.
Born and trained at opposite ends of the world, Sorayama and Giger are apparently at odds—one’s bright colors are swallowed by the other’s dark chiaroscuro; one’s enthusiastic outlook on technology borders with the other’s nightmarish dystopia; one’s “super-realism” challenges the other’s surrealism—yet they share more than meets the eye. Both emerged in the 1970s and 1980s, becoming acknowledged masters of airbrush painting and influential creators beyond the boundaries of the traditional art world, blurring the relationship between commercial and personal work. But more importantly, at the very core of their practice lies a similar concern: an obsessive investigation of AI, eternal life, and the fusion of organic and apparatus. Gynoids (female androids) are predominant subjects, conjuring the post-human and the apotheosis of the woman to reveal an underlying tension between life, death, power and desire.

H.R. Giger: Debbie Harry Metamorphosis: Creating the Visual Concept for KooKoo

A beautiful coffee table art book chronicling the extraordinary collaboration between Debbie Harry and H.R. Giger for Harry's 1981 solo album KooKoo. When the visual artist H.R. Giger, best known for his biomechanical creature and set design for seminal 1979 sci-fi-horror film Alien, encountered Debbie Harry, the punk icon and lead singer of globally successful new wave band Blondie, the results were sublime. The artwork for Harry’s 1981 debut solo KooKoo album cover was deemed so frightening it was originally banned on the London Underground. The fantastical videos for two of the tracks on the album, ‘Backfired’ and ‘Now I Know you Know,’ featured Giger himself piercing an Egyptian sarcophagus and a newly brunette Harry reimagined as a xenomorphic Giger creature. With photographs and words by Chris Stein, Harry’s long-term collaborator, artefacts and sketches from the Giger archive, and an introduction by Debbie Harry, this is an essential behind-the-scenes insight into the processes of an incredible creative partnership.
