The
Merzbau attempted to combine the formal elements of his art
with the deeply personal aspect that was so important to him.
It was also a work of phenomenal ambition where he tried to
include almost everything. But perhaps, more then anything it
will remain a tantalising mystery. As it is no more we rely
on the accounts of the very few people who saw it completely
and the few photos of the original studio, the first room of
the merzbau.
I thoroughly recommend.John
