In presenting a series of works under this title, photographer and conceptual artist Merlin Bauer travels through our European cities and landscapes with a sober eye. What state have we left them in? How does the new relate to the existing? \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBauer’s works examine these everyday interventions: fences, billboards, and skyscrapers; asphalt roads; box-shaped residential clusters resembling standardized caves; staked-out building volumes; and artificial rocks. They explore the boundaries between order and uncontrolled growth, along with their underlying structures and surfaces. In the tradition of the Grand Tour, they stimulate curiosity and invite exploration.” Dr. Jörg Biesler (Deutschlandfunk \/ WDR)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hartmann Books, Stuttgart","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56506071089531,"sku":"grandtour","price":36.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1341\/7181\/files\/Screenshot2026-10-13at16.55.32.png?v=1791903548","url":"https:\/\/choisi.info\/products\/grand-tour","provider":"Artphilein Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
