As part of the inaugural exhibition of the Arp museum extension, established German sculptor Johannes Brus was invited to relocate his entire studio--from the smallest wrench to the largest article of furniture--from its former home in Essen to a series of rooms that were left in relatively rough condition in the new complex. The artist's work--representational three-dimensional renderings of animals and human beings in various stages of completion--were thus available for the public to see in the context of the arena in which they are made, and not traditionally shown. This volume documents the project in full.
