Sculpture and Drawing
Markus Raetz was a Swiss conceptual artist and sculptor whose work focused on the nature of visual perception and the relationship between the viewer and the object. He is famous for his anamorphic sculptures and drawings that change shape or reveal new meanings when viewed from different angles, such as his sculpture that reads 'OUI' from one perspective and 'NON' from another. Raetz's work often utilized simple materials to create complex optical illusions that challenge the way reality is perceived.
