Sweet Wood, Vaclav Pozarek
A poetic meditation on form, play, and the beauty of simplicity—Sweet Wood by Vaclav Pozarek is a sculptural artist’s book that bridges the gap between the studio and the nursery.
This limited-edition artist’s book by Swiss-based Czech sculptor Vaclav Pozarek is a visual and conceptual delight. Sweet Wood (2022) is a minimalist cardboard book that transforms everyday wooden forms into a quiet narrative of structure, balance, and imagination. With just 16 pages, Pozarek invites readers into a world where the boundaries between art and play dissolve, evoking the aesthetics of constructivism, minimalism, and concrete art.
Published by Rookie Books, this rare edition—limited to just 300 copies—is a collector’s gem for lovers of artist books, conceptual art, and design minimalism. The book’s tactile format and visual language make it equally at home on a gallery shelf or a child’s playroom floor. A must-have for admirers of simplicity, harmony, and the poetic potential of everyday objects.
About the author(s):
Vaclav Pozarek (b. 1940, Czechoslovakia) is a sculptor and conceptual artist who has lived and worked in Bern, Switzerland, for nearly five decades. His work is deeply rooted in the traditions of constructivist and minimalist art, often incorporating elements of architecture, design, and ordinary objects. Pozarek’s practice is known for its clarity, precision, and subtle humor, and Sweet Wood is a perfect encapsulation of his artistic ethos.
