Emil Cimiotti’s roots are in informalism. He was recognized early as one of the pioneers and main representatives of German informal sculpture. As early as 1958 and 1960, he took part in the Venice Biennial; in 1964, participation in documenta 3 followed. After the publication of the first part of the catalogue raisonné, this monograph presents for the first time a comprehensive overview of these extremely fascinating, processual transformations in Emil Cimiotti’s work up to today.
