Even though Kurt Schwitters is counted among the most famous artists of international modern art, his many-sided visual oeuvre has been only partially deciphered. For the first time, this three-volume catalogue raisonné documents and honors his entire oeuvre. After worldwide research and a complete investigation of the artist's estate, we can now present around four thousand works created between 1905 and 1948, including many paintings and drawings that have remained unpublished until now. Schwitters's works are arranged chronologically, and in each year, according to genres. Each work is reproduced in black-and-white; lost and destroyed works have been documented. Almost 140 representative works are also printed in color.
The most extensive volume, the third, covers the period between 1937 to 1948. It contains the works Schwitters created while in exile, first in Norway and then in England after 1940. Colored sculptures, collages, and assemblages are made of a variety of materials, including objects found in nature, and they continue the artist's early concept for Merz. Futhermore, two of the Merz buildings, Haus am Bakken and Merz Barn, the less-well-known Norwegian landscapes and drawings, and the portraits from his time in an English internment camp are also presented.
