This elegant softcover monograph serves as the official exhibition catalogue for the 1988 Salzburger Festspiele, documenting the profound sculptural works of Anna Mahler (1904–1988), the daughter of composer Gustav Mahler and Alma Mahler-Werfel. The volume features a curated selection of her stone carvings and figurative busts—many of which were destroyed during the war—while showcasing the "Grand Prix" winning marble figures that established her as a major force in 20th-century sculpture. The book is notable for its minimalist design and high-quality monochromatic plates that capture the raw texture and emotional depth of her work. This specific copy is highly significant as it is hand-signed by Anna Mahler on the flyleaf, likely during the year of the exhibition and the year of her passing. The book is in very good vintage condition, showing only light age-related toning to the white covers and minor shelf wear consistent with its age, while the internal pages remain crisp, clean, and securely bound.
