Author: Szapocznikow, AlinaThe central focus of Alina Szapocznikow’s (1926–73) works is the human body, through which she uncompromisingly thematises the fragility of existence and the paradoxes of life. Her tireless investigation of unconventional materials and forms marks her as a pioneering artist who – alongside Benglis, Bourgeois and Hesse – made fundamental contributions to contemporary sculpture. This bilingual (English/German) monograph includes 13 brief texts on her works by renowned scholars, addressing such key topics as casting, erotic objects, memory, fragmented bodies and plasticity.ISBN 9783991531838.
