At the center of “Photoplastik,” Oliver Laric’s 2016 exhibition at the Secession in Vienna, was the sculpture Beethoven – a matte-white polyamide 3D print installed exactly where sculptor Max Klinger’s monument to the composer debuted in 1902. Laric’s nearly life-size replica of Klinger’s work comprises twenty-five printed rectangular panels assembled together, seams visible, in a manner that recalls the fitted assemblage of the luxurious materials used in the original.
