Der vorliegende Band bietet eine umfassende, nach dem heutigen Wissensstand komplette Werkschau von Oswald Oberhubers dreidimensionalen Arbeiten. Er erhebt keinen Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit und muss auch ein Versuch bleiben; "Versuch" deshalb, weil es aus vielerlei Gründen unmöglich ist, tatsächlich alle plastischen Werke zu erfassen. Gerade im Fall von Oswald Oberhuber tragen dazu auch definitorische Probleme wesentlich bei; abgesehen davon, dass eine nicht genau feststellbare Zahl von Arbeiten vernichtet wurde. Der Band umfasst mit mehr als 1000 Objekten die gesamte Schaffensperiode des Künstlers von den Anfängen bis heute. Erst in einer solchen Gesamtschau wird das Wesentliche von Oberhubers Werkverständnis, das sich im Einzelfall hinter dem Fragmentarischen verborgen hält, deutlich sichtbar. So kann beispielhaft erstmals nachgewiesen werden, dass einige verloren geglaubte Gipse aus Oberhubers früher informeller Phase von ihm selbst in einem bewussten künstlerischen Akt zersägt wurden. Die Einzelteile blieben lange Zeit, in tatsächlich eigenständigen Plastiken, unerkannt: Eine Fragmentierung ohne ersichtliches Fragment, das ist mehr als nur ein Verwirrspiel! Es ist eine versteckte Aufforderung an die Betrachter, aber auch grundsätzlich an die Öffentlichkeit und ein wesentlicher geistiger Aspekt des Gesamtwerks. Oswald Oberhubers Motto für sein gesamtes Schaffen "Nur durch das Sehen kommt man zur Kunst" kann so auch als allgemein gültiger Appell zu hellwacher Aufmerksamkeit und Beobachtung verstanden werden. The present volume offers a comprehensive retrospective of all presently known three-dimensional works by Oswald Oberhuber. It does not make any claim of being complete, and also must remain an attempt: an "attempt" because several factors make it impossible to actually grasp all of the sculptural works. In the specific case of Oberhuber, there is also the additional problem of defining the works, not to mention the fact that an indeterminable number of works have been destroyed. The volume, with more than 1,000 objects, covers all creative periods from the artist's beginnings to the present day. Such an overview is necessary to make fully clear the essence of Oberhuber's work concept, which remains concealed behind fragmentary elements when viewing a single piece. We have thus been able to prove, for the first time, that in a conscious, artistic act Oberhuber sawed apart several plasters from his early informal phase believed to have been lost. The individual pieces remained unrecognized for quite some time in what are, de facto, separate sculptures. Fragmentation without visible fragment: yet not simply a deliberate act of confusion! Instead, it is a hidden challenge to beholders, and also, fundamentally, to the public, and an essential intellectual aspect of the oeuvre. Oswald Oberhuber's motto for his entire creation, "One arrives at art only through seeing," can thus be understood as a universal appeal for keen attention and observation.

"Dada Means Nothing!" So proclaimed Tristan Tzara, the movement's tireless publicist. Yet this did not prevent the most fanatical and talented artists and writers across Europe from rushing to join its ranks. Anti-war, anti-art, anti-dada, from its beginnings in Zurich during the first World War the dadas swept aside the cultural, philosophical and political norms of their time. Utter disgust with a society that had created the war (and then expected to survive the peace) spurred them to ever greater demonstrations of revulsion and derision. Yet it was not all nihilism: many factions worked within the Dada Movement and it was Huelsenbeck's intention to embody most of them in the Dada Almanac. The largest collection of Dadaist texts ever assembled by the movement, it was originally published in 1920 in a mixture of French and German. The Dada Almanac was truly international in scope, with substantial sections from the Swiss and French sections of the movement, it embodies Dada's failings as well as its successes, its excesses, its seriousness, its idiocy, but above all the anarchic vitality which made it such a vital precondition for so much that followed in the fields of art, literature and general cultural terrorism.
