Together the pillars would support a common roof and form an art universe that stands for solidarity, international understanding, and respect for nature. Zimmer has been pursuing this idea and its realization as STOA169, a permanent art installation in Polling, Bavaria, for more than thirty years. This lavishly illustrated volume documents its creation, showing all the artists' pillars in detailed individual photos. \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Hirmer Verlag GmbH","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47572113195159,"sku":"9783777440668","price":5643.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783777440668.webp?v=1774889011","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/stoa169-the-artist-columned-hall-9783777440668","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
