“...Like the sculptures and objects of the Minimal art of the past, Eggert's works are distinguished by the reduction to simple and easily comprehensible geometric basic structures, which sometimes appear in serial repetition. The billboard for You ruined my holidays (2012), for example, is designed to be extendable ad libitum, not unlike Sol LeWitt’s modular Cubes. Both artists examine architectonic grid-based constructions reduced to a minimum. Eggert also alludes to the gigantic advertising billboards familiar from America’s strips or from Robert Venturi’s book about these phenomena, Learning from Las Vegas (1972). ...”
